Court dismisses lawyer's liability claim for reduced rent arrears due to will tax advice and finds statute of limitations expired.

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim against the lawyer for damages resulting from reduced rent arrears caused by advice on testamentary succession tax. The plaintiff argued that the lawyer's guidance led to an incorrect calculation of tax liabilities, thereby diminishing the recoverable rent arrears, while the lawyer contended that the claim was time-barred. The court ruled that the claim was inadmissible because the limitation period had expired, regardless of the alleged causal link between the advice and the financial loss.
