You should keep in mind that there limitation periods set by acts of parliament that dictate within what period of time you must commence court proceedings. If you don’t start your proceedings within that time, then you may be prevented from taking any action to recover loss you may have sustained. There are many different limitation periods for different causes of action. Some of these are as short as a number of days such as proceedings relating to some employment disputes.
The period starts from when a cause of action accrues to a plaintiff. Some of the more prevalent causes of action such as those based on a breach of contract, ones for a tort such as claims in negligence (other than personal injury) and ones based on misleading and deceptive conduct provide for a period of 6 years. In any event, you should not delay as time periods run away and may lose you valuable rights. We can let you know what the relevant period of time is for your cause of action or whether you have a right to prevent the other party pursuing you because they have waited too long.
We provide significant experience in all types of commercial litigation and civil litigation. Some of the types of disputes we can act for you include litigation about:
