RE: Social Fund Recovery of Debt
Thu 19-Feb-04 12:26 PM |
Time limits are contained in the Limitation Act 1980, which, as far as I am aware, has not been amended to the contrary as regards certain civil debts, which I would class social fund loans as. Time limit for recovery of social fund loans in my opinion is 6 years from when the cause of action accrues. In other words, from when the debtor is first able to take legal action for default, or at the final decision of a court of first instance or appellate court (if used).
