The plaintiffs brought a motion to amend their statement of claim to add two proposed defendants in an action for property damage arising from home renovations.
The proposed defendants opposed the motion, arguing the limitation period had expired.
The court found that the plaintiffs provided a reasonable explanation for not discovering the involvement of the proposed defendants earlier, as they could not have known without being advised by the named defendants.
The court granted leave to add the proposed defendants, allowing them to plead a limitation period defence.
