When is the deadline for simple contract limitation period?
The catalogue records a 6 years period from accrual (the date of breach). 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
- 6 years
- Trigger
- accrual (the date of breach)
- 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 Statute is a defence that must be pleaded; fraud or mistake postpones the running of time (ss71 and 72).
