AVOIDING THE PITFALLS OF LIMITATION AND MAKING SECTION 33 APPLICATIONS: WEBINAR 20th FEBRUARY 2026 (MAKE SURE YOU’RE ON TIME…)

We have seen a few interesting cases about limitation in the past 12 months.  Misunderstanding, and missing, limitation periods remains a frequent issue in modern litigation. This webinar deals with common issues and problems that arise with limitation in practice. It also deals with some of the more unusual difficulties that can arise unless practitioners are aware of them, including accidents involving vessels at sea, aircraft (and airports), foreign limitation periods and Human Rights Act claims.

“Claimants face loss of claim in all ‘limitation discretion’ cases where there is no right to litigate. That is what limitation is; it is inherent in the whole exercise.”

(Mrs Justice Collins Rice in Rafiq v Thurrock Borough Council [2022] EWHC 584 (QB))
