When is the deadline for added claims after expiry - defendant's six-month knowledge window?
The catalogue records a 6 months period from Expiry of the relevant limitation period. 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
- Expiry of the relevant limitation period
- 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.
- This is a statutory relieving provision, not a discretion. It cannot be enlarged.
- The six months are NOT a deadline for taking a step. They mark the outer limit of the window within which the defendant must have acquired sufficient knowledge of the added claim. There is no deadline for making the amendment itself under s 21, though a claim is brought for the purposes of s 1(2)(b) when the amended pleading is filed. Section 21(a) requires no knowledge window at all where the added claim is between existing parties without a change of capacity.
