The Court held the cause of action accrued when actual damage occurred — namely when the underlying suit was struck off by the High Court on 24.8.2009 — therefore the plaintiff's claim filed 29.4.2015 was within the six‑year limitation period; the Court affirmed the High Court finding that the defendants breached the retainer and were negligent in failing to advise, seek extension or otherwise protect the client's position and remitted the matter for assessment of damages.
