- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA701/2013
The new causes pleaded in the ASC were new claims for limitation purposes and, on the plaintiff's own pleaded case, accrued more than six years before the ASC was filed; the ASC does not arise out of the same facts or substantially the same facts as the original pleaded cause of action, and the plaintiff is bound by its earlier pleadings; therefore the statutory and rule conditions for allowing the late amendment were not satisfied and the appeal must be dismissed.
