Limitation worksheet

Find the Article that governs your proceeding, see the period and the event it runs from in the Schedule’s own words, and count it out. Every step shows its working.

This is a worksheet, not advice.

It applies one rule — s.12(1), excluding the day the period runs from. It cannot know whether an acknowledgment, a stay, a wrong-forum proceeding or a disability has moved your date, and it does not know your court’s calendar. Verify against the bare act and your file before you rely on any date here.
