What is the limitation period for an application for dispute resolution?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan VIS6386 v. Verbin, 2021 BCCRT 482 (CanLII):
28. The strata filed its application for dispute resolution on June 15, 2020. On its face, the strata’s claims are out of time. However, section 24 of the Limitation Act says that a limitation period may be extended if a person acknowledges liability before the expiry of the limitation period. Payment or partial payment of a “liquidated sum” is considered an acknowledgment of liability. A liquidated sum is one which is already determined or capable of being determined as a matter of arithmetic: Sawry v. Rohsanagh, 2006 BCSC 470.
