Lauesen v. Silverman, 2016 ONCA 327 DATE: 20160503 DOCKET: C59992

[1]            The appellant did not know she should sue her former lawyer for making an improvident settlement of a car accident action until she went to another lawyer who advised her to do so, after he obtained an expert opinion about the extent of her injuries. The issue in this case is discoverability for limitation purposes: when is it reasonable for a lay person to know that she should sue her former lawyer?
