The defendants, KPMG, Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, brought motions for summary judgment to dismiss actions initiated by 1511419 Ontario Inc. (formerly The Cash Store Financial Services Inc.) on the grounds that the claims were statute-barred by the two-year limitation period.
The actions related to professional services provided concerning a January 2012 loan purchase and note offering.
The court dismissed the motions, finding that there were genuine issues requiring a trial regarding the discoverability of the claims, given the complex factual pattern, allegations of professional negligence, and the limited evidentiary record presented.
