(New Zealand) The plaintiff sought damages for breach of a fiduciary duty by his solicitors. They responded that his claim was out of time. The judge had found an equitable fraud, and therefore time did not begin to run until it was discovered.
Held: The Appeal court had been correct in finding that the solicitor had disclosed his interest in the matter, and that therefore time began running then, and the claim was now barred.
