When is the deadline for action against municipality or regional district for unlawful act - 6 months?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from The day the cause of action first arose. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
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
- 6 months
- Trigger
- The day the cause of action first arose
- 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.
- Extension is NOT a judicial power. Only the council or board may designate "a further period ... in a particular case". The court cannot enlarge this period. Never compute an extension.
- Runs from when the cause of action FIRST AROSE, i.e. accrual, not discovery - materially different from the Limitation Act s 6 trigger, and it displaces the 2 year basic period for claims within its scope by operation of Limitation Act s 3(2) (the Act does not apply to a claim for which a limitation period is established under another enactment). The closing words "but not afterwards" mark it as a hard bar. The scope limb is narrow: it catches unlawful exercises of statutory power that could have been done lawfully, and does not capture ordinary negligence claims, which remain under the Limitation Act. Section 736 notice must also be given within 2 months.
