Q:Rodney enters into a contract with Davina for the sale of an antique coffee table on 1 March 20X0. The table was delivered on 1 April 20X0 and Davina paid for it on 1 May 20X0. On 1 September 20X0, during a dinner party at her flat, Davina's friend Laurie, an expert in antique, inspected the table and discovered that the antiquity had been very cleverly fabricated. The table was in fact an imitation made five years ago. Davina claims against Rodney for breach of contract in that the table did not match its description.
Her right of action becomes statute-barred on:
A. 1 March 20X6.
B. 1 April 20X6.
C. 1 September 20X6.
D. 1 May 20X6.
A:The correct answer is: 1 September 20X6.
Where the defendant has committed a fraud, the claimant has six years from the date of discovering the fraud to sue for breach of contract before becoming statute-barred.
