The appellant appealed a summary judgment dismissing his claim against the respondents.
The appellant argued that he met the one-year limitation period by advising the respondent of his claim within one year.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that notice of a claim does not satisfy the statutory requirement that a 'suit is brought' within the limitation period.
The court also found no evidence that the respondent's conduct estopped them from relying on the limitation period.
