What facts did the Plaintiffs know and when did they know them? 2. What facts existed that the Plaintiffs were unaware of and when did they acquire knowledge of them? 3. Is this a case where an expert’s report is required to institute a claim? 4. Did the Plaintiffs act with reasonable diligence? What facts did the Plaintiffs know and when did they know them?
