Summary

The first and second defendants applied to strike out claims for declaratory relief that a loan agreement was unenforceable (being a sham) and an alternative claim for a brokering fee, arguing they were time-barred under s 6 of the Limitation Act. The court dismissed the striking out application, holding that a claim for a negative declaration that an agreement is unenforceable does not involve a 'cause of action' within the meaning of s 6, and the alternative claim was contingent and had not yet accrued.
