Practice question
A private successful claimant seeks the separate damages action described in Section 10. Counsel computes its one-year limit from entry of the judgment establishing the claimant’s right. Is this the same triggering event as Section 11’s ordinary office-ouster accrual limit?
- Yes; the judgment-entry clause has no independent meaning.
- No; the text identifies distinct triggers for those two actions.
- Every damages claim is timely forever.
- Only the date counsel changes offices matters.
- The claimant may ignore both periods by labeling the case urgent.
