The defendants brought motions for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiffs' action as statute-barred under the Limitations Act, 2002.
The plaintiffs had previously commenced an action in 2011 based on the same core facts, which was dismissed as abandoned.
The plaintiffs argued the limitation period was postponed due to fraudulent concealment, claiming they only discovered confirming evidence in 2013.
The court found the 2011 claim provided irrefutable evidence that the plaintiffs had discovered their claim by July 2011.
The court rejected the fraudulent concealment argument, granted summary judgment, and dismissed the action.
