The recent case of Lynn v. Bamber has revived an interesting and undecided point upon the Statute of Limitations and has given McCardie J. an opportunity of exploring with his usual thoroughness a somewhat difficult region of law. In Lynn v. Bamber the plaintiff bought from the defendant young plum trees warranted to be ‘Purple Pershores.’ Some years later, on their bearing fruit, he found them to be ‘Coe's Late Red,’ a cheaper sort of plum. He sued the defendant for damages for breach of warranty and, as his suit was brought more than six years after he had bought the trees and would prima facie be barred by the Statute of Limitations, 1623, he alleged that the defendant had fraudulently misrepresented to him the nature of the trees and had fraudulently concealed from him the breach of warranty. McCardie J. found on the facts that fraud was not proved and that therefore the Statute of Limitations was a good defence, but held in a long and interesting judgement that if fraud had been proved the Statute of Limitations would have been excluded.
