The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court judgment ordering him to repay a $20,000 loan, arguing the claim was statute-barred.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that part payments made by the appellant's company extended the limitation period for both the company and the appellant.
Furthermore, the court held that an email sent by the appellant acknowledging the debt and containing his name constituted a signed acknowledgement in writing under section 13 of the Limitations Act, 2002, which also extended the limitation period.
