    Time begins to run when the cause of action accrues. For torts that are actionable per se, the limitation period begins when the wrongful act occurs, even if damage does not happen or is not discovered until later. However, where damage is the essence of the legal claim, the period does not begin until damage occurs.

    Limitation of Actions

    1.1 When does time begin to run?

    The basic rule is that time begins to run when the cause of action accrues. In relation to tosrts that are actionable per se without proof of damage the limitation period begins to rune when the wrongful act is done, even though damage, if there is any, does not occur or is no discovered until later. But where damage is the gist of the action the basic rule is that the period does not begin to run until the damage occurs. (Trindade p 818)
