The court held the claims were time barred under section 4 of the Limitation Ordinance because the plaintiff failed to prove the subcontracts were executed as deeds and thus subject to a 12-year limitation; estoppel was not established because there was no unambiguous representation and no detrimental reliance; section 26(1)(c) was inapplicable. Accordingly the claims disclosed no reasonable cause of action and were struck out under Order 18 r19(1)(a).
