Does the limitation period apply to damages caused by a motor vehicle?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Manz v. Prairie Surveying Ltd. et al., 1988 CanLII 5131 (SK QB):
Likewise, the decision in Lasby v. Everall Engineering Ltd. (1960), 1960 CanLII 179 (SK QB), 32 W.W.R.(N.S.) 335, relied upon by the plaintiff, is not very helpful. The court ruled that “damages occasioned by a motor vehicle”, did not cover damages occasioned to a motor vehicle, so the limitation period was inapplicable. There, the plaintiff’s automobile was damaged when it struck some rocks on a road which was being repaired by the defendant.
