Group action claims deadlines
It’s important for us to talk about group action claims deadlines. We have represented a lot of people across over 40 different group and multi-party actions, and many people miss out.
The reasons are often the same: “I didn’t realise I could claim”, or “I hadn’t realised the time limit would be so soon”, or “I’ve only just realised I was a victim”. In many instances, these reasons for people missing vital deadlines still lead to victims missing out. It is, therefore, imperative that we discuss this to encourage anyone who may be eligible to join an action to do ASAP or risk missing out.
There is absolutely no reason as to why anyone should delay starting their case. All that does is increase the likelihood of missing a key deadline.
