Apply to extend the limitation period for a defamation claim
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the publication capture, the client's account and the correspondence, calculate the expiry of the limitation period and any extension from a concerns notice, and build a source-tagged chronology of when the client learned each relevant fact and what was done next, with the documents behind each entry. The tool writes nothing in the application, the evidence or the submissions.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide whether an extension application is open and worth bringing, assess the reasons for delay and the prejudice to the defendant's evidence, write the application, the client's evidence and the submissions, and file before the maximum extension period runs out.
