Allison and Another v Horner: CA 12 Feb 2014

Aikens LJ said that mere knowledge of fraud in a general sense is not enough to start the limitation period running: ‘ . . knowledge of the deceit alleged on the part of a claimant’s agent will be insufficient to start the limitation period running under section 32(1). Similarly, the fact that the claimant’s agent could with reasonable diligence have discovered the alleged deceit does not start the limitation period running.’
