judgment_summary: >-
Kensland Realty Limited sued its former solicitors, TTC, for negligence in advising it regarding a property
transaction. The Court found Kensland's action time-barred under the Limitation Ordinance as the cause
of action accrued more than six years ago. Key legal analysis focused on whether Kensland had 'knowledge
required for bringing an action' within that period, which was deemed not to be the case.
