Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff, as executrix of the estate of Joshua Bechowitz Weller, claimed unpaid annuity payments totaling USD 84,322 from Old Mutual under two retirement annuity policies. The defendant raised a special plea of prescription, arguing the claim arose in 2010 when the deceased retired or at latest in April 2013 when a dispute over calculations arose, and thus prescribed after 3 years.
