Overpayment Damages Recovery Barred by Statute of Limitations
Suisse · Canton de Genève (CH-GE)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case involves a dispute over damages arising from alleged overpayments made under a contract, where the lower court ruled that the statutory limitation period had expired, thus barring recovery. The reviewing court examined various theories of recovery, including contract breach, unjust enrichment, and recovery of mistaken payments, analyzing whether the limitation period began to run upon the making of each overpayment or upon the discovery of the cumulative error. The court determined that each overpayment constituted a separate instance of potential unjust enrichment or mistake, causing the limitation period for each payment to commence when it was made, and finding no basis for tolling the statute as the errors were readily ascertainable through reasonable diligence. Consequently, the court affirmed the lower court's ruling that the statutory time limit barred the claim for most, if not all, of the alleged overpayments.
