Of course, the system is only as good as the information that you put into it, so it is also essential that you remain up to date on any statutory limitation periods and any deadlines imposed by Courts or other parties to a transaction or action. You should take particular care when taking over an existing file from another practitioner that you consider any limitation periods that might apply not just to the subject matter of the file itself but to the other practitioner’s actions. Likewise, if you are handing a file over to another practitioner or back to a client, you should ensure they are aware of any relevant limitation periods.
