HB decisions

Ah, thank you. That’s the end of that then.

As far as I can see Section 108 Welfare Reform Act 2012 amends the Limitation Act 1980 but it does not appear to amend the Prescription and Limitation(Scotland) Act 1973 (as amended by the P&L(Scot) Act 1984) This Act does however stop Fraud being time-barred.

(4)In the computation of a prescriptive period in relation to any obligation for the purposes of this section— .
(a)any period during which by reason of— .
(i)fraud on the part of the debtor or any person acting on his behalf, or .
(ii)error induced by words or conduct of the debtor or any person acting on his behalf, .
the creditor was induced to refrain from making a relevant claim in relation to the obligation, and
(b)any period during which the original creditor (while he is the creditor) was under legal disability, .
shall not be reckoned as, or as part of, the prescriptive period
