The negligence related to inheritance tax advice concerning the establishment of an offshore trust and the Court held that the claim had been commenced within the time permitted by section 14A. The case is relevant to pensions lawyers for its discussion of the caselaw and principles regarding when a claimant has knowledge sufficient to start the limitation clock running.
