A kind reader just sent me the following:(posted 7989 days ago)Re Limitations Act and 6/12 yerar rule.
There are three cases due to be heard in the Court of Appeal on this issue. They were due to be heard on July 24 and 25, but I have heard that they are now being heard in June.
The cases are:
Halifax v Grant
Bartlett v Bristol and West
A Paragon case (no further details)
Re statutory demands: I have recently managed to get a client' application to set aside a statutory demand (on the basis that the debt is statute barred after 6 years)adjourned until the CA decides.
All the best
If anyone can find out more details about these cases and their status, please share it.
Also, for anyone currently facing a claim that has a 6/12 year element: you should use the fact that a precedent-setting court is to hear these issues in the next few months to get your case put on hold.
You will need to apply to your court if a claim has already been filed against you.
Good luck, keep me up to date ;-)
