When is the deadline for actions founded on simple contract?
The catalogue records a 72 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
- 72 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.
- Section 8 makes special provision for certain demand loans: where a written demand for repayment is made under a qualifying loan contract, 'section 7 shall thereupon apply as if the cause of action to recover the debt had accrued on the date on which the demand was made' (section 8(3)). Acknowledgement or part payment under sections 34 to 36 can restart time.
