PLD: Limitation Periods, Reduction and Contribution

EU Product Liability Directive (Directive (EU) 2024/2853) PLD-Art.15: Limitation period (PLD Article 15) - 3-year claim limitation

Article 15: Member States shall ensure that proceedings for recovery of damages are subject to a limitation period of 3 YEARS from the day the injured person becomes aware OR could reasonably be aware of (a) the damage; (b) the defect; (c) the identity of the relevant economic operator that can be held liable for the damage. The 3-year clock starts running from the latest of these three points. Member States shall ensure that the rules applicable to the suspension or interruption of the limitation period laid down in this Directive do not prevent the injured person from claiming compensation. Article 15 codifies the 'reasonably aware' / 'should have known' standard which is more protective than a strict actual-knowledge standard.
