Professional Negligence Claims – Missed Time Limits
What is a ‘missed time limit’?
Missed Time Limits
There are statutory time limits for issuing proceedings in the Courts or the employment tribunal. If those deadlines are missed then your claim will be statute-barred and it is unlikely that the Court will allow you to proceed with your claim. These missed deadlines are known as ‘missed time limits’.
If your solicitor was at fault in missing the deadline, because he or she failed to bring proceedings in time, or your claim was struck out due to your solicitors missing a deadline imposed in a Court Order we can assist you in bringing a claim.
