FDA Limitation Acknowledgment - The FDA explicitly states that 510(k) clearance does not constitute official approval of a medical device, and manufacturers are prohibited from claiming such approval. This highlights regulatory limitations on device claims ["2023 Supreme(US)(ca7) 387"].
Court Discretion on Evidence Admission - Courts review decisions to admit or exclude expert testimony for abuse of discretion, especially when nondisclosure occurs. In one case, Bard argued that their design defect and failure to warn claims were invalid due to lack of expert causation testimony, but the court upheld summary judgment, emphasizing the importance of proper disclosure and evidence ["2022 Supreme(US)(ca5) 307"].
Bard's Patent and Litigation History - Bard, a medical device company holding patents on vascular grafts, was involved in litigation with Atrium over breach of licensing agreements and patent issues. The courts reversed judgments favoring Atrium, noting unresolved patent infringement claims at the time of contract negotiations ["2024 Supreme(US)(ca9) 170"].
Limitation Periods in Claims - Several sources discuss the importance of limitation periods in legal claims. Claims filed outside prescribed timeframes are often dismissed, as seen in cases concerning claim petitions and consumer complaints, with courts emphasizing that limitation is a crucial procedural aspect that can bar claims if not adhered to ["2024 0 Supreme(All) 1168"], ["
Chetanbhai Pravinchandra Shah VS Hotel Shyam Lodge - Consumer
"].Legal Proceedings and Evidence Restrictions - In certain cases, courts have refused to admit evidence or claims due to procedural issues, such as nondisclosure of exhibits or claims being barred by limitation. For example, in Bard-related cases, the court refused to admit exhibits due to nondisclosure, and in other instances, claims were dismissed for being time-barred ["2023 Supreme(US)(ca7) 387"], ["2023 Supreme(US)(ca9) 318"].
Liability and Compensation in Bard Litigation - Bard has sought exemptions from certain legal assessments, such as common benefit fund contributions in product liability litigations, indicating ongoing legal and financial challenges related to their medical devices ["2023 Supreme(US)(ca9) 318"].
Other Legal and Administrative Cases - Various cases involve administrative proceedings, revenue disputes, or claims related to property and employment, often emphasizing procedural compliance, such as recording statements or adhering to limitation periods ["PINKY vs State of U.P. AND 3 OTHERS - Allahabad"], ["PINKY vs State of U.P. AND 3 OTHERS - Allahabad"], ["RJHC020868372021"].
The sources collectively underscore the theme of legal and regulatory limitations faced by Bard and related entities, particularly regarding device claims, patent disputes, and procedural compliance. Courts consistently emphasize the importance of proper disclosure, adherence to limitation periods, and the distinction between regulatory clearance and approval, which can significantly impact litigation outcomes. These limitations serve to uphold procedural integrity and prevent unfounded claims, reinforcing the importance of transparency and procedural adherence in legal and regulatory processes.
In the realm of motor accident compensation, one persistent question arises: Limitation Bard Claim Admit—or more precisely, can a claim previously barred by limitation be admitted before a Motor Accident Claims Tribunal? This issue has significant implications for victims who may have missed strict filing deadlines under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (MV Act). With amendments removing time bars, hope emerges for revived justice. This post delves into the legal evolution, key principles, and practical guidance, drawing from landmark cases and related precedents. Note: This is general information, not specific legal advice. Consult a qualified lawyer for your situation.
Section 166 of the MV Act originally imposed a six-month limitation period via sub-section (3) for filing claims before the Tribunal. However, the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019, omitted this provision, sparking debates on its retrospective application. Courts have generally affirmed that this change allows previously barred claims to be entertained, prioritizing substantive justice over procedural hurdles. This shift ensures accident victims aren't denied compensation due to technical delays. 1999 0 Supreme(Ori) 347 1999 0 Supreme(MP) 407
The core question—whether a limitation barred claim can now be admitted—hinges on retrospectivity, res judicata, and reasonableness. Let's break it down.
The 2019 amendment deleted sub-section (3) of Section 166, effectively eliminating the fixed timeline. Courts hold this applies retrospectively to pending claims, meaning Tribunals must now consider applications without dismissing them solely on limitation grounds. For instance, claims filed post-amendment, even if previously time-barred, can proceed. 1999 0 Supreme(Ori) 347 1999 0 Supreme(MP) 407
In related contexts, such as arbitration claims, courts emphasize that if a claim states No part of the present claim is barred by the limitation and the claim is within the period of limitation, it supports admission when timelines align. 2019 0 Supreme(Bom) 1594
Judicial consensus supports retrospectivity. Claims dismissed earlier for limitation can be revived, as procedural amendments shouldn't bar legitimate rights. The Supreme Court and High Courts have reinforced this, stating amendments receive full effect. 2004 0 Supreme(MP) 858 1999 0 Supreme(MP) 406 2001 0 Supreme(MP) 31 2003 0 Supreme(All) 1417
This mirrors approaches in other statutes, like the Railway Claims Tribunal Act, where delays are condoned if sufficient cause is shown under Section 17(2), promoting substantial justice over rigid bars. 2018 0 Supreme(Pat) 1541
A dismissal for default doesn't invoke res judicata for fresh petitions. Order 9 Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) permits restoration, applicable to Tribunal proceedings. Thus, a new claim petition isn't barred. 1996 0 Supreme(Gau) 260
No limitation doesn't mean unlimited time. Claims must be filed within a reasonable period to prove genuineness. Excessive delays, like over 13 years, risk dismissal. Courts assess factors like diligence and explanation. 2019 0 Supreme(Pat) 174
For comparison, in railway claims, Tribunals reject applications beyond one year without strong justification, as in cases where the appellant failed to provide a proper explanation for the delay. 2019 0 Supreme(Gau) 126 2018 0 Supreme(Gau) 802
Dhannalal vs. D.P. Vijayvargiya: The Supreme Court mandated full effect to the deletion of the limitation, enabling pursuit of time-barred claims. 2001 0 Supreme(MP) 31 2003 0 Supreme(All) 1417
Amarjeet Chaudhary Case: Procedural changes must not defeat legitimate claims via technicalities, underscoring retrospectivity. 1995 0 Supreme(P&H) 92
Additional precedents highlight caution:- In MSME disputes, Facilitation Councils assess if claims are barred by limitation or is within limitation, directing jurisdiction appropriately. 2019 0 Supreme(Bom) 410- Railway cases stress acceptable explanation for delay, refusing condonation for 16-year lapses where diligence lacked. 2019 0 Supreme(Gau) 126
These illustrate a balanced approach: liberalization where justified, scrutiny for undue delays.
Post-amendment, Tribunals typically admit claims previously barred, but claimants face scrutiny on delay. Factors courts consider include:- Nature of delay: Medical issues, legal ignorance, or administrative hurdles may qualify as reasonable.- Evidence of genuineness: FIRs, medical records, and witness statements bolster cases.- Precedent risks: Unexplained long delays invite rejection, akin to arbitration where objections regarding jurisdiction must be raised before the Arbitral Tribunal. 2019 0 Supreme(Bom) 410
In one arbitration ruling, exchange of claim statements formed a valid agreement under Section 7(4)(c), allowing proceedings despite challenges—paralleling MV Act revival. 2019 0 Supreme(Bom) 1594
The omission of Section 166(3) marks a claimant-friendly shift, retrospectively enabling admission of limitation-barred motor claims. While doors open wider, reasonableness remains key—justice favors the diligent. Victims now have stronger grounds to pursue compensation, but delays demand justification.
Key Takeaways:- Amendments apply retrospectively; barred claims may revive. 2004 0 Supreme(MP) 858 1999 0 Supreme(MP) 406- No res judicata for default dismissals; restoration possible.- File reasonably soon to affirm genuineness.- Consult professionals for case-specific strategy.

Ramesh Chand Yadav, Aged About 35 Years, R/o Dhani Bard Ki, Ward No. 30, National Highway No-8, that the order is without jurisdiction and the application was filed within limitation
No part of the present claim is barred by the limitation and the claim is within the period of limitation." (emphasis supplied) The winding up petition was filed by the Claimant on 18th May 2016 which was within limitation and thereafter by an order dated 12th February 2018 the disputes were referred to arbitration.
