Course description
This webinar addresses the issue of limitation in the context of victims of historic abuse wishing to bring personal injury claims sometimes many years or decades after the expiry of the limitation period.
The case-law has been developing in recent years and the difficulties faced by claimants have become increasingly stark. A clear understanding as to the law regarding date of statutory knowledge, and the principles upon which section 33 applications are determined, is essential in this field.
Presented by Hugh Preston KC, this vital 1 hour update will provide a detailed analysis of the core ingredients of statutory knowledge and what the claimant needs to ‘know’ for time to start to run. The latest case-law will also be explored along with what to look for in a case when determining whether a section 33 application would have merit, and what a claimant has to do to stop the clock running.
