The court found the plaintiff had actual and/or constructive knowledge of the relevant facts well before issue so s27 would have barred the 1st Accident claim, but exercising the unfettered discretion under s30 and having found no forensic prejudice to the defendant, early notification and an excusable reason for delay, the court disapplied the limitation period and refused to strike out the pleadings; the claim will proceed to be tried on the merits.
