_v23 February 2001, 5(1)
520 _aThe CA ruling in "Cave v Robinson Jarvis & Walsh" that a negligence claim that had been brought more than three years after the problem concerned came to light could go ahead means that professionals can no longer rely on the fifteen year longstop. Previously it was only possible to bring a later claim where facts relating to it had been deliberately concealed or there had been a 'deliberate commission of a breach of duty' by the professional involved but in the judgment this was interpreted as any deliberate act resulting in a breach of a duty of care.
