A student that pursues this degree on a half-time basis (7-8 credits per semester) will take four years to complete the program. Part-time students could carry a lighter caseload, but keep in mind that most schools have rules regarding the maximum time (usually six years) allowed to complete a degree.
In British Columbia, this equitable defence of estoppel has been successfully raised as a shield to defeat the defendantâs argument that the plaintiffâs Wills Variation Act claim is statute barred.his finding was upheld by the Court of Appeal. Needless to say, such late claims are clearly precarious. For example, the court refused to accept the claim of estoppel in Westover v. Cairns 2004 BCSC 1572. In that case a child commenced a Wills Variation Act claim slightly out of time.
The Limitations Act, 1974 provides for a six year limitation period for torts and three years for personal injuries. There is a judicial discretion to extend time for a period of no more than three years. Clearly these provisions are unsuitable for child abuse claims..22. Section 11(2) of the 1957 Act provides that an action founded on tort must be brought within six years from the date the cause of action accrued. This general six year rule is subject to two exceptions: cases of slander and personal injury actions, in respect of which the limitation period is three years.
