When is the deadline for claim for contribution from another tortfeasor or joint obligor?
The catalogue records a 24 months period from Date on which the claimant's liability is quantified by agreement, award or judgment. 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
- Date on which the claimant's liability is quantified by agreement, award or judgment
- 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.
- Short and frequently missed. Time runs from quantification of the liability, not the underlying wrong. Corrected on verification: s 34(4) confirmed verbatim at 2 years after the date A's liability to B is quantified by an agreement, award or judgment; the note that time runs from quantification rather than the underlying wrong is correct and valuable. Two citation errors: s 34
