AIC Ltd v ITS Testing Services (UK) Ltd [2006] EWCA Civ 1601
CA
28 November 2006
Daily Law Notes Summary
Although the failure of the defendant’s inspector to disclose
information which he had acquired casting doubt on a certificate
he had issued to the claimant relating to the grade of gasoline
which the claimant had bought did not give rise to a cause of
action in deceit, it did amount to deliberate concealment of a
fact for the purposes of s 32(2) of the Limitation Act 1980.
