The Court held that s180(2) requires actual awareness of the facts constituting the right to claim or absence of blameworthy subjective default; the plaintiffs were deflected by fraudulent assurances and did not become aware in Sept/Oct 2002, but did become aware when they read the Sunday Star Times and sought legal advice in April 2003, so the six-year limitation period commenced then and the proceedings filed 22 October 2008 are within time.
