Way beyond the limits

There have been significant recent developments in the law of limitation, not least because of the Court of Appeals decisions in Brocklesby v Armitage & Guest and Cave v Robinson Jarvis and Rolf. Oscar Harrison-Hall , a partner at Davies Arnold Cooper and a member of its Reinsurance & Professional Indemnity Group, argues that the door has now been opened for negligence (and other) claims to be brought way outside the six-year primary limitation period due to the court’s novel approach to section 32 of the Limitation Act 1980 in the aforementioned cases.
