When is the deadline for claim based on an act or omission causing death?
The catalogue records a 2 years period from The earlier of the day on which the death of the individual is discovered and the day on which, by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the individual is presumed to have died. 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
- 2 years
- Trigger
- The earlier of the day on which the death of the individual is discovered and the day on which, by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the individual is presumed to have died
- 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.
- Suspension under s 8 and s 17 applies; no judicial discretion to extend.
- Displaces the 15 year ultimate period for death claims. Note that this runs from discovery of the DEATH, not from discovery of the four s 6(1) matters. The Fatal Accidents Act should also be checked for any provision that applies notwithstanding this Act (see s 3(4)).
