The plaintiff, Her Majesty the Queen, brought a motion for summary judgment against agricultural producers who defaulted on advances guaranteed by the Minister under the Agricultural Marketing Programs Act.
The Minister became subrogated to the lender's rights after repaying the advance.
The defendants argued the six-year limitation period had expired, asserting it began when they defaulted or the administrator requested payment.
The Court held the limitation period began when the Minister paid the administrator, rendering the action timely, and granted summary judgment for $316,029.96 plus interest.
