The plaintiff slipped and fell on ice on a municipal sidewalk in front of a private home.
She sued the City and the homeowner.
After the presumptive two-year limitation period expired, the homeowner issued a third-party claim against her neighbours and their contractor, alleging water discharged from their property caused the ice.
The plaintiff moved to add the neighbours and contractor as defendants.
The neighbours opposed, arguing the limitation period had expired.
The court granted the motion, finding the plaintiff exercised due diligence and could not reasonably have discovered the neighbours' potential involvement until served with the third-party claim.
