A v H [2008] EWHC 1573 (QB), [2008] All ER (D) 95 (Jul)
In considering the factors relevant to the exercise of the court’s discretion, under s 33 of the Limitation Act 1980 (LA1980), to extend the limitation period beyond that specified in LA 1980, s 11 what matters most is not the length of the delay itself, but the reasons for that delay and its potentially prejudicial effect; moreover, it may be reasonable to delay issuing proceedings on account of the defendant’s impecuniosity.
