In Beaton v. Scotia iTrade,[15] Justice Belobaba stated at paragraph 13: The claimant only has to know enough material facts on which to base a legal allegation. Once the plaintiff knows that some damage has occurred and has identified the alleged wrongdoer, “the cause of action has accrued”. Neither the extent nor the type of damage need be known.
