Choose your answer
A sues B for the price of goods sold and delivered under separate invoices. No fixed period of credit was agreed, and the claim is not on a mutual, open and current account. Under Article 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963, when does limitation begin for each delivery?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
For goods sold and delivered with no fixed credit period, Schedule Article 14 starts the period at delivery of the goods. Separate invoices do not automatically become a mutual account or defer all earlier deliveries to the last supply; a demand or reply does not itself postpone accrual.
See Articles 14 and 15 of the Schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963.
Option feedback
Option A
A subsequent demand does not replace delivery as the statutory starting point in the stated case.
Option B
The last supply does not automatically postpone limitation for every earlier separate delivery.
Option C
A reply to a demand is not the ordinary accrual event; any acknowledgment issue would need its own statutory facts.
Option D
Delivery against each invoice is the starting point under Article 14 for these facts.
