In the recent decision, LTP v Natalwala [2023] WASC 414, the Supreme Court of Western Australia extended the limitation period for a personal injury claim stemming from medical treatment in 2011. Across Australia, there’s no single law governing limitation periods, which leads to variations in when these periods start (like from the injury date, the date the cause of action first arises, when the injury is discovered or when the person becomes aware of significant injury).
