The court found the plaintiff had actual or constructive knowledge of the employer's identity from the start of his employment (and therefore at the date of the accident), so time under s27 began to run on the accident date; the four-month delay in issuing the writ was unjustified and, balancing s30 factors, it was not equitable to disapply the limitation period; appeal dismissed.
