Is there a time scale in respect to professional negligence

Thank you. Professional negligence claims must be brought in six years from the date of the alleged act of negligence. However, where the negligence only becomes apparent at a later stage this time limit may be extended. If an extension is sought, then the time limit expires three years from the date of knowledge of the facts which might give rise to a claim. So if the alleged negligence occurred in 2010, you may still be in time to make the claim. However if you are out of time because it is more than 6 years from when the negligent act occurred but you only found out about it within the last 3 years, you can still make a claim. I hope this has answered your query.
