When the clock starts running, can the clock start running?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Brandner v Alberta (Justice & Solicitor General), 2014 ABQB 211 (CanLII):
This approach, using rules of discovery to ascertain when the clock starts to run is a more recent approach to limitation periods. It is a result of a trend that balances the interests of both plaintiffs and defendants so that now a “more contextual view of the parties’ actual circumstances” is required: Yugraneft, para. 59; Novak v. Bond 1999 CanLII 685 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 808, para 65.
