How the deadline is calculated
The limitation period is added in whole calendar years to the trigger date (same month and day). A 29 February trigger lands on 28 February in non-leap years. Many jurisdictions extend a deadline that falls on a weekend or holiday to the next business day. Public holidays are not modelled.
Exceptions that change the deadline
- Discovery rule — the clock may start when the injury or breach was (or should have been) discovered.
- Minors and incapacity — the period is often paused (tolled) until the disability ends.
- Claims against government bodies — short notice deadlines apply.
- Statutes of repose and contractual limitation clauses can shorten the time.
