(2) For the purposes of subsection (1),“starting date” means the date (or, if more than one, from the last of the dates) on which there occurred any act or omission —(a) which is alleged to constitute negligence, nuisance or breach of duty; and (b) to which the injury or damage in respect of which damages are claimed is alleged to be attributable (in whole or in part). (3) This section bars the right of action in a case to which subsection (1) applies notwithstanding that the cause of action has not yet accrued before the end of the period of limitation prescribed by this section.
