When is the deadline for personal injuries limitation period?
The catalogue records a 2 years period from accrual of the cause of action (or the date of knowledge, if later). 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
- accrual of the cause of action (or the date of knowledge, if later)
- 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.
- The date of knowledge (s2 of the 1991 Act) may defer the start and is fact-sensitive; it is not computed. The Statute is a defence that must be pleaded.
- Applies to causes of action accruing on or after 31 March 2005. In practice two years less one day.
