Description
The alleged failure to advise an administrator of an estate that if he made a distribution from the estate that he would be potentially liable to any claim of which he had notice before the distribution constituted damage for the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980 from the moment of the distribution even though the claim had not at that stage been pursued. Until the claim was withdrawn the administrator would remain exposed to the claim and the fact that it still needed to be proved was not a relevant contingency.
