- An absolute cut-off that bites even before the cause of action accrues: section 15(2) provides that it bars the right of action 'notwithstanding that - (a) the cause of action has not yet accrued; or (b) where section 14 applies to the action, the date which is for the purposes of that section the starting date ... has not yet occurred'. Does not apply to personal injury claims
