Map Limitation Periods

Map a described cause of action to candidate limitation periods with assumptions stated, candidates for every plausible characterisation and jurisdiction, and the earliest candidate marked as the conservative marker — a triage convention, never advice.

Read the source and control method, use an approved profile per the deadline profile schema and work from the limitation registry.

Workflow

1. Fix the claim and the inputs.
   • Record the described facts, every plausible characterisation of the cause of action, every plausibly applicable jurisdiction and the assessment date.
   • Record the lawyer-supplied accrual or discoverability date for each characterisation as an assumption. Never derive one: a missing accrual date makes that candidate cannot be computed from inputs.
2. Map candidates from the registry.
   • For each characterisation and jurisdiction, take the candidate period and statutory basis from the registry. Registry entries are routing leads: verify each period relied on through the jurisdiction's checker ($check-commonwealth-legislation, $check-nsw-legislation, $check-victoria-legislation or the applicable sibling) at the assessment date and record the evidence state.
   • Flag every potentially engaged special regime and every postponement or extension provision as a flag, never a conclusion.
3. Rank conservatively.
   • Order candidates by date and mark the earliest as the conservative marker. State plainly that the marker is a triage convention and that characterisation, accrual and any extension are the responsible lawyer's calls.
4. Set the human decision gate.
   • Name the confirmer who must resolve characterisation, confirm the controlling candidate and enter dates in the diary system of record.
