    • Nourifard contributed funds towards the purchase of shares in Novarc Technologies Inc., with the understanding that Emadzadeh would hold these shares in trust.
    • Disputes arose when Nourifard requested the transfer of shares to his name, which Emadzadeh and Novarc Technologies Inc. refused.
  • Issue:

    • The main legal issue revolved around whether the plaintiff's action was barred by the two-year limitation period prescribed by the Limitation Act.
