- CACV384/2006
The Court held that the words "and thereafter" in the original indorsement were capable of including a claim in respect of the 1999 audit, therefore the November 2005 amendment did not introduce a new cause of action and was not time-barred; the appeal was dismissed, but leave was granted to amend the Points of Claim to raise a triable issue as to date of knowledge.
