Richard Lukins & Anor v Quality Part X Limited & Anor

Richard Lukins & Anor v Quality Part X Limited & Anor

The claimants, being legally represented, failed to comply with the mandatory requirement to issue proceedings electronically. As such, they did not do all that was reasonably required to bring the claim within the limitation period. CPR 3.10 cannot remedy pre-commencement procedural errors. The claims are therefore time-barred.

Procedural Posture

Civil / Summary Judgment Application

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the claim was 'brought' within the limitation period under section 2 of the Limitation Act 1980 given non-compliance with mandatory electronic filing requirements
  2. 2 Whether CPR 3.10 allows the court to remedy procedural errors occurring before proceedings are commenced

Ratio Decidendi

The claimants, being legally represented, failed to comply with the mandatory requirement to issue proceedings electronically. As such, they did not do all that was reasonably required to bring the claim within the limitation period. CPR 3.10 cannot remedy pre-commencement procedural errors. The claims are therefore time-barred.

Court Disposition

Summary judgment for the Defendants; claims dismissed as time-barred.

Orders

  • Summary judgment entered for the Defendants.
  • Claimants' claims dismissed as statute-barred.
