What is the limitation period for obtaining an opinion from a notional advisor?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lorette v. Thorson Health Centre, 2008 BCSC 552 (CanLII):
In Ounjian at para. 28, the court held: The abstraction of notional advice by notional advisors means that the actual advice or the absence of advice is not relevant. As pointed out by McEachern C.J.B.C. in Vance v. Peglar at p. 261, appropriate advice is deemed to be competent advice, which may be different from actual advice or no advice. He also pointed out that the limitation period is not postponed until the plaintiff obtains a favourable opinion.
