When is the deadline for actions upon a specialty (contract under seal)?
The catalogue records a 240 months period from Date on which the cause of action accrued. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 240 months
- Trigger
- Date on which the cause of action accrued
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Materially longer than England, where the equivalent period under Limitation Act 1980 s.8 is 12 years. Do not carry the English figure across. Subsection (2) preserves any shorter period elsewhere in the Act (for example section 12 for personal injuries). The word 'Subjection' is a typographical error for 'Subsection' in the official consolidation and is quoted as it appears.
