Inexperience or Lack of Sophistication Does Not Toll the Statute of Limitations Re: the Discovery of Fraud/The Test for When the Fraud Should Have Been Discovered in an Objective One

The First Department determined the action alleging the fraudulent churning of trades by an employee of Morgan Stanley was untimely.  The plaintiff argued that plaintiff’s inexperience and lack of sophistication should toll the statute of limitations re: the discovery of the fraud.  The court explained that when the fraud should have been noticed is determined by an objective test:

“The test as to when fraud should with reasonable diligence have been discovered is an objective one,” and the duty of inquiry arises “where the circumstances are such as to suggest to a person of ordinary intelligence the probability that he [or she] has been defrauded” … . Apt v Morgan Stanley DW Inc, 2014 NY Slip Op 01541, 1st Dept 3-11-14
