The claimant's cause of action was held to have arisen on 2 November 2012 (time began to run then) because the notice of claim only pleaded that incident and continuing state based allegations did not constitute separate acts for limitation; notwithstanding the short delay the court exercised its discretion under s82(3) DDO and s30(3) Limitation Ordinance factors to allow the out-of-time claim to proceed; on the question of R1's liability the pleaded facts were sufficient to raise agency/principal arguments such that the claim against R1 could stand (or be amended) rather than be struck out.
