What is the limitation period for a plaintiff to bring a claim for damages under the BC SPCA?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Blok v. Mathew, 2012 BCSC 754 (CanLII):

In Taylor v. Paulson, 2005 BCSC 1249, Truscott J. stated the following at para. 40 with respect to the second component: The "facts" within her means of knowledge were only those facts necessary to submit to a notional advisor for appropriate advice as to whether an action on the cause of action would, apart from the fact of the expiration of the limitation period, have a reasonable prospect of success. It was not necessary that the plaintiff's full extent of injuries be known before the limitation period began to run. All that was necessary is that there existed a duty of care and a breach of that duty and that she suffered compensable injury.
