- HCCT18/2007
The court held that actionable breaches occurred by April 1996 (refusal to pay) and at the latest by February 1998 (further unpaid invoice); the cause of action therefore accrued by February 1998 and the six‑year limitation expired before the writ issued in March 2007. Accordingly the plaintiff's claim is statute‑barred and fails. The court also found on the balance of probabilities that the plaintiff did not know of any deception by the defendant.
