- High Court
The trustees' claim was properly characterised as a breach of contract; the six-year limitation under s 4(1)(a) Limitation Act 1950 applies; the cause of action accrued when the contractual breaches crystallised upon the end of the contract and failure to perform the agreed 'wash up' reconciliation (when HBL ceased work in December 2010); therefore the trustees' claims were brought within the six-year limitation period and the appeal was dismissed.
