Vet negligence limitation

[Thomas_P]

Hi

Just wondering if anybody knows the limitation period for vet negligence that resulted in the death of an animal?

From my research it appears to be professional negligence and so 6 years, but I have just been browsing a site that stated it is 3 years...I thought this was justfor personal injury?

Thanks

Your claim is in tort and/or contract.

As you are finding out, not everything that you read on the internet is correct. You must apply your critical thinking faculties.

Tort essentially means the law of behaviour towards people. Negligence / Nuisance are some. I worked in liability claims and it is 6 years as essentially your pet is your property - I am sorry to hear about this. Claims in contract are different and 6 years I believe. Personal injury relates to injury to people obviously.

Thank you to both of you for taking the time to respond
