Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The court addressed whether a claim was barred by the statute of limitations, specifically concerning a construction project where the initial work was completed in one year but defects were later discovered and repaired over several subsequent years. The court reasoned that the statute of limitations begins to run from the date of substantial completion of the work, regardless of subsequent minor repairs or discovery of latent defects, thus affirming the dismissal of the action as untimely because it was commenced more than the statutory period after the substantial completion date.
