Under the current Law of England & Wales you must become aware of the time period within which you must bring your case before the court.

If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, and you made your contract in those areas, you must check local laws for any variation on these periods.

In the jurisdiction of England & Wales, personal injury cases currently attract a limitation period of three years, normally from the date of your holiday, in which to bring an action before the court.

If you have a complaint stemming from sea or air travel, your limitation period is currently set at two years by the Athens and Montreal (Warsaw) Conventions respectfully.

In contract the limitation period is currently six years.

Children are the general exception to these periods, longer periods may apply, and they must bring their case within the above limitations periods from the date they reach the age of majority.

If you need to bring your case in a foreign jurisdiction, shorter limitation periods may apply - you must seek the advices of HolidayTravelWatch or a specialist travel lawyer immediately

Remember, if you fail to bring an action within these periods, you may be debarred from bringing the matter before the court.

If in doubt, contact HolidayTravelWatch immediately.
