Limitations of actions 2021 NSSC 267

MacDonald v Loblaws

The court exercised its discretion under s.12 to disallow the limitation defence because the delay was short (about 4.5 months), caused by counsel's inadvertence while the claimant acted diligently and gave timely notice to the defendant, the defendant had early awareness and investigated the spill, the defendant did not notify the claimant it intended to rely on the limitation period and failed to show prejudice from the delay; on balance the hardship assessment favored the claimant and it was just to permit the claim to proceed.
