- Court of Appeal
An amended pleading cannot be used to reintroduce or obtain relief for causes of action that are statute-barred under s 43A FTA; the court must first apply the statutory limitation regime before relying on r 7.77 to add any fresh cause of action, and where the amendment seeks relief for pre-December 2012 conduct barred by s 43A it must be struck out.
