Turks And Caicos Enacts A Comprehensive Limitation Statute

@G&P Group's David Cadman analysis of the very recent Turks and Caicos Limitation Ordinance, which came into force on October 12th 2021.

The new law provides that some older claims may now only be pursued if proceedings are issued before October 12th 2022, after which they may be statute barred. Please contact us if you have a claim that you think may be affected by the new law.

The Limitation of Actions Ordinance 2021 ("the Ordinance") came into effect on Tuesday 12th October 2021.¹

The Ordinance introduces statutory time limits for causes of action with effect from the date of commencement of the Ordinance, with discretionary powers of the Court² to extend or disapply statutory time limits in specific cases.
