Breach of Trust and Limitation Period

Employment Professionals Canada Inc. v. Steel Design and Fabricators (SDF) Ltd. 2016 Ont SCJ

As in the Frank’s Drilling case, the court held that the limitation time for a breach of trust claim against a director did not start to run until (at least) when the corporate contractor breached its trust and the corporate contractor did not breach its trust until the owner paid it.
