Geoff Brewer considers limitation periods in damage claims - 2002 - Contract Journal 412(6365) 20 February 2002, 23(1) .

Comments on the case of "Scottish Equitable Plc v Miller Construction Ltd" where the issue of application of limitation or prescription periods in claims for breach of contract was taken to arbitration. The resulting judgment decided that where a claim is for the monies due under a contract, the limitation period will not normally begin to run until the last interim payment certificate has been issued.
