Description
In this case the pursuers sued a firm of solicitors for breach of contract and negligence. The main question here was whether the claim had prescribed by virtue of section 6 of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973. The defenders argued that any obligation upon them had prescribed since there was concurrence of injuria and damnum at the date of execution of the lease on16 January 1990. The pursuers argued that they did not suffer any loss until 17 November 1999. The pursuers argued that in terms of section 11(3) of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, they did not know, and could not reasonably have known, that they would suffer loss until early 2000. Here the court considered whether the claim had prescribed by virtue of section 6 of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973.
