    The Court affirmed the High Court: the Personal Loan document was authentic and admissible; the parties evidenced an intention that repayment would be on demand so limitation ran from the oral demand in November 2009 (making the 2015 suit timely); the earlier appellate order precluding strike-out estopped the defendant from relitigating limitation and abuse issues; the refiling did not constitute abuse of process because the earlier order was not peremptory and the defendant was bound by the earlier appellate decision; therefore the appellant's challenge failed.
