Description
For the purposes of s.14A of the Limitation Act 1980 in respect of a claim following the construction of a large, supposedly waterproofed basement room beneath a rear garden, the Claimants had sufficient knowledge of the material facts about the damage when they knew of the serious water penetration or the financial loss of having a concrete structure which was not waterproofed which was substantially valueless and they knew that the structural engineer had been retained to give structural advice and to design the room so as to be fit for purpose. Accordingly steps should have been taken to investigate the claim further.
