The Schedule of Limitation Periods in Civil Matters in the Australian Capital Territory is prepared as a guide for legal practitioners on the limitation periods which apply to causes of action instituted in the Australian Capital Territory. The Schedule does not include every possible cause of action, nor every limitation period, nor does it comprehensively describe the limitation periods. It is not intended to provide particular legal advice to readers or to be used by legal practitioners in substitution for their own research and inquiries.

You should seek professional advice or conduct your own research to determine the accuracy and application of the information in this Schedule to any given facts.

The Schedule is distributed to insured law practices with an ACT exposure. It has been reviewed most recently in August 2024.
