Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant's damages action under the Road Traffic Act was time-barred under the two-year limitation period.
Solution extraite
The claimant had sufficient knowledge of the damage at the latest by 2 May 2002, so the two-year limitation period expired before the debt collection step in May 2005.
Motifs extraits
The court held that limitation begins once the injured party can bring suit with enough knowledge of the existence, nature, and elements of the damage, not when the exact amount is known. The administrative and accident-insurance decisions already gave a stable picture of the impairment and loss of earning capacity.
