Source condition 1

The obligation is included in Schedule 1 and falls within section 6. No Schedule 1 exclusion, special enactment or different prescriptive period displaces it.

Source condition 2

For a non-reparation branch, section 6(3) uses actual enforceability and no Schedule 2 alternative date. Damages obligations use the applicable section 11 date instead.

Source condition 3

For damages, I established the actual loss date and any continuing act or omission. Any later section 11(3) date satisfies all section 11(3A) facts and reasonable diligence.

Source condition 4

The current regime applies to this post-2025 appropriate date. No earlier obligation or unresolved transitional rule is treated as newly enforceable.

Source condition 5

No relevant claim or relevant acknowledgment interrupts this continuous period. No statutory excluded interval for fraud, induced error or legal disability applies.

Source condition 6

No actual section 13 agreement or other effective statutory extension changes this period. The calculation identifies an ordinary period and does not decide extinction.
