The defendants moved for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's action on grounds including that it was statute-barred by the Limitations Act, 2002.
The court found that the plaintiff's claim was discovered in January 2016, based on email correspondence where the plaintiff explicitly articulated his loss, attributed it to the defendant, and indicated an intention to pursue legal action.
As the action was commenced in July 2018, more than two years after the claim's discovery, it was statute-barred.
The defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted, and the plaintiff's action was dismissed.
