On April 6, 2007, the other owners appeared before Mr. Justice Sigurdson on an application to amend their statement of claim with respect to their claim against the Kwans for damages for negligence and duty to warn. The Kwans were represented by the barristers, and unsuccessfully opposed the application on the basis, among other things, that the proposed amendments were barred by the Limitation Act: Strata Plan LMS 2643 v.
