When is the deadline for claim for contribution between tortfeasors?
The catalogue records a 24 months period from The date the right to contribution accrued: the date of the judgment or award against the claiming party, or the earliest date on which the amount of a compromise payment was agreed. 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
- 24 months
- Trigger
- The date the right to contribution accrued: the date of the judgment or award against the claiming party, or the earliest date on which the amount of a compromise payment was agreed
- 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.
- Replaced by 77 of 1984 s. 10. The accrual date is defined precisely in s. 6(2): the date of judgment or award, or the earliest date the settlement amount was agreed, and appellate variation of quantum is disregarded. A short period that is very frequently missed.
