Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 72 months
- Trigger
- The LATER of (a) the day the infringement of competition law ceases and (b) the claimant's day of knowledge (Sch 8A para 19(1))
- 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.
- None as such: Sch 8A para 17(1) provides that "proceedings in respect of a competition claim may not be brought before a court or the Tribunal after the end of the limitation period for the claim determined in accordance with this Part of this Schedule." This is a hard bar. Relief comes only through the suspension provisions in paras 20 to 25, which extend the clock, not through any judicial discretion to forgive lateness.

Para 42(2): where an infringement runs over two or more days it is taken to have taken place on the first of those days. For
