My boyfriend ordered a credit report recently and noticed he had a "Legal Item" listed on it.

It is from 2006 and states that someone is suing him in the "CQB - CLGA", which I am assuming stands for Court of Queens Bench - Calgary, Alberta. It lists an individual as the plaintiff, but the defendant simply states 'S'. No lawyer is listed and the comments section states "disposition unknown".

I find this weird that it doesnt clearly state my boyfriend as the defendant and instead has the letter S. (which is not an initial of my boyfriend in any way).

Anyways, we determined that it was from a prior landlord. During his time at this rental property, his brother caused extensive damages.

We are assuming this 'lawsuit' is in regards to the damages. However, my boyfriend has never received anything in writing/in person/over the phone/etc in regards to this case.

Any idea if there is a statute of limitations on a case such as this, since it has been 6 years? Does this 'legal item' affect his credit, seeing as it is on his credit report?
