When is the deadline for claim for contribution and indemnity between alleged wrongdoers?
The catalogue records a 2 years period from The day on which the first alleged wrongdoer was served with the claim with respect to which contribution and indemnity is sought. 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 day on which the first alleged wrongdoer was served with the claim with respect to which contribution and indemnity is sought
- 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.
- Section 14 deems the DATE OF THE ACT OR OMISSION, which then feeds the s 6(2) presumption of discovery and so, in the ordinary case, produces two years from service of the underlying claim. It applies whether the right to contribution arises in tort or otherwise (s 14(2)). Note the separate procedural constraint on third party claims in r 3-32(c) - a limitation-compliant contribution claim may still be out of time procedurally.
