Child abuse civil case statute of limitations could be removed in Western Australia

Time restrictions on when victims of child sexual abuse can launch civil action seeking damages in Western Australia look set to be removed, with the Government and Opposition backing a private members bill introduced by a backbench Liberal MP.

The legislation introduced by Eyre MP Graham Jacobs, which would remove the six-year statute of limitations for child sexual abuse civil cases in WA, is set to be debated in State Parliament
