What UK businesses need to know about records retention
It goes without saying that business records and company contracts need to be kept while they’re still in effect, but what about after they expire? Paul Ravey of Access Records Management explains all.
What is the Limitation Act 1980?
The purpose of the Limitation Act 1980 is simple: it sets time limits on various types of legal action. From this, businesses can determine how long they need to keep documents in case they are required to produce them in court. This statutory ‘limitation period’ therefore defines the minimum length of time a business should keep its records.
Section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980 sets out the “time limit for actions founded on simple contract,” and – in full – states that “an action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued.”
So what does this mean? First, we need to understand some definitions:
- A “simple contract” is an agreement, written or oral, which has been accepted as legally binding by both parties. For businesses, this means employment contracts, business agreements, insurance policies, personnel files, and various other documents. A simple contract is treated differently from a deed, which is a more formal document requiring the signatures of multiple people.
- The “action” that this legislation refers to is a civil claim. In a business context, this will usually be a dispute over the terms of the agreement. These conflicts are easily resolved by producing the original document, which is why it’s crucial to keep the document safe and accessible.
- The legislation establishes the limitation period as six years after “the date on which the cause of action accrued“, meaning the date on which the claimant brings their breach of contract case to court.
