The work product
Forum. A Queensland personal-injury proceeding, beside the Commonwealth safety-defect clocks
Produce. A diary with s 11 and both Commonwealth clocks on separate lines.
Have ready. Date the cause of action arose; Commonwealth discoverability facts marked by the lawyer.
Example of the limit. Illustrative example: The manufacturer was unknown for four years. The lawyer does not close the safety-defect claim on s 11. Section 143(1) runs three years from when the person became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the alleged loss or damage, the safety defect, and the identity of the manufacturer. Section 143(2) still requires the action to be commenced within 10 years of the supply by the manufacturer.
Stop and hand it back when
- Section 11 is diarised from the date of knowledge.
- A Commonwealth clock is deleted because s 11 has expired.
