Are there any time limits for seeking damages for loss suffered in a consumer transaction?
- Yes. There are time limits for bringing your claim under the Australian Consumer Law. A consumer must make a claim:
- within 3 years of becoming aware of the alleged loss, damage or defective nature of the goods and services; and
- within 10 years of when the goods were originally supplied.
- If you need more specific information about what time limits apply you can use our Phone a Lawyer service to get a preliminary consultation about your situation.
