Cases

Brady v Norman (No 2)

Facts

In June 2009 B had, by way of a Part 8 claim, applied for a order disapplying the limitation period in respect of an allegation by N that B had forged cheques. The allegation was made at ASLEF’s Annual Assembly in 2006, following B’s successful unfair dismissal claim, and subsequently published in a bound volume. B submitted that he was not aware of the words until the end of September 2008 and that the delay in making the application was due to limited funds as he could not obtain CFA representation until March 2009 when the costs of an earlier successful slander action were settled. The Master refused permission, on the ground that the 9 month delay was excessive.
