Dear all,
I am surprised to see no reference on Jiscmail to the impact on records
retention based on the Limitations Act following the case of the woman who
successfully challenged a court decision to the House of Lords for claiming
damages well after the 6-year limit (House of Lords 30/01/2008). See story
at
http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/society/law_order/lords+rule+rapist+can+be+sued/1440247
Unless I am totally wrong here, this has implications on the 6-year rule,
which is the basis of so many retention periods in England and Wales.
Or does this only concerns the police and the courts??
This Act does not apply in Scotland, so this is purely out of interest.
Thank you for your comments.
Regards,
Edith
