How have the courts interpreted the words "diligence" in a limitation period?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Vista Radio Ltd. v Tivadar, 2017 BCSC 1195 (CanLII):
The plaintiff submits that the language of the note is clear and the words have well known and accepted meanings. The plaintiff says that “diligence” is defined as applying care and attention to a task and that promoting diligence is one of the rationales that underlies the policy of imposing limitation periods. See Novak v. Bond, 1999 CanLII 685 (SCC), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 808 at paras. 64 to 67.
