Does the limitation period apply to a claim for non-pecuniary damages?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Pereira v. Contardo, 2014 ONSC 6894 (CanLII):

In Ng v. Beline, I accepted that an effect of the Chenderovitch judgment is that it recognized that there are separate causes of action for pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses under the Insurance Act scheme for automobile accident claims. However, in my opinion, it did not follow from the Chenderovitch judgment that each cause of action receives an independent limitation period analysis. I held that if the threshold claim is not timely, then all the claims should be statute-barred and conversely if the threshold claim is timely, then it is just that all claims should go forward.
