When is the deadline for action for latent damage other than personal injury?
The catalogue records a 72 months period from Two alternative limbs, not one trigger: (a) the date on which the cause of action accrued; and (b) the earliest date on which the claimant, or any person in whom the cause of action was vested before him, first had BOTH the knowledge required for bringing the action AND a right to bring it. Compute both and take whichever expires later.. 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
- 72 months
- Trigger
- Two alternative limbs, not one trigger: (a) the date on which the cause of action accrued; and (b) the earliest date on which the claimant, or any person in whom the cause of action was vested before him, first had BOTH the knowledge required for bringing the action AND a right to bring it. Compute both and take whichever expires 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.
- Amended by Act 25 of 2021 with effect from 1 April 2022. This is a two-limb test producing whichever period expires later; both must be computed. The 15-year long-stop in section 24B overrides. Corrected on verification: Fetched from SSO. The citation is right and the periodText prose is right, but the STRUCTURED encoding is dangerously wrong: the entry pairs a later-of trigger
