The Court held that s.20(1)(b) does not apply to the defendant because the alleged constructive trust arose from the defendant's own wrongful acquisition (category 2), so the six-year limitation in s.20(2) applies and the claim was time-barred; ancillary claims for accounts and equitable compensation are ancillary to and substantially the same as the barred breach of trust claim and are therefore also barred; appeal dismissed.
