 The trial judge found that there was no duty of care and therefore that an action in negligence could not succeed.This was upheld by the NSW Court of Appeal in 2000.In relation to whether the action in NSW courts was limited by the passage of time, the Court of Appeal, reversing Studert J, extended the limitation period for the non-equitable claims by about three decades pursuant to s 60G of the Limitation Act 1969 (NSW)
