The plaintiffs brought an action for negligent misrepresentation against the defendants, alleging that steam generators purchased for resale in the Former Soviet Union failed to perform as represented in promotional brochures.
The defendants counterclaimed for unpaid invoices.
The court dismissed the plaintiffs' action, finding it was statute-barred under the former Limitations Act because the plaintiffs knew or ought to have known of the equipment's deficiencies well outside the six-year limitation period.
The court also found no detrimental reliance on the brochures.
The defendants' counterclaim was dismissed for lack of proof.
