[lawsuit_or_court - construction deficiencies / building envelope] A condo corporation sued an architect for deficient construction causing water ingress at its building, and the architect sought summary dismissal arguing the claim was added outside the limitation period (added October 2018, served November 7, 2018, more than three years after 2015 consultant reports); the court dismissed the architect's appeal, finding it triable whether the corporation exercised due diligence in discovering the architect's identity, so the limitation defence could not be resolved summarily.
