The cause of action is the act or omission that gives rise to the right to file a complaint. For example, if a consumer buys a defective product, the cause of action would be the date on which the consumer purchased the product.<\/p>\n<p>If a consumer fails to file a complaint within the one-year time limit, the consumer may still be able to file a complaint if the District Forum is satisfied that there was sufficient cause for the delay. However, the District Forum is not bound to accept the consumer&#8217;s explanation for the delay, and it may dismiss the complaint if it is not satisfied with the explanation.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the time limit for filing a complaint is a strict time limit, and the District Forum will not entertain a complaint that is filed after the expiry of the time limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
