C.A. No. 135212 Halifax, N.S. HALLETT, J.A.
APPEAL HEARD: April 11, 1997
JUDGMENT DELIVERED: April 30, 1997
SUBJECT: Limitation of Actions Act, R.S.N.S. 1989, c. 258, ss. 2(1)(e); 3(2) and (6)
Procedure - Civil Procedure Rules 14.25 and 25
SUMMARY: The appellant brought an application in the Supreme Court pursuant to s. 3(2) of the Limitation of Actions Act requesting the Court disallow the limitation defences filed by the respondents.
Justice Anderson dismissed the appellant's application and also dismissed her action.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal from Justice Anderson's dismissal of the appellant's application (cases considered: Central Trustco v. Rafuse, [1986] 2 S.C.R. 147; and MacCulloch v. McInnes Cooper & Robertson (1995), 140 N.S.R. (2d) 220).
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal from Justice Anderson's order dismissing her action as this issue was not before him (Considered Rule 14.25, Rule 25 and the decision of the Court of Appeal in Binder v. Royal Bank of Canada et al. (1996), 150 N.S.R. (2d) 234).
