What is the Statute of limitations in Ontario, Canada when a lawyer makes an error in a Real Estate transaction which causes their client to lose money?

When I purchased a piece of property back in the 1974’s, the electric, the hydro power and water required an easement to go through another person’s property that my lawyer assisted me to purchase. When the original tenants left the property and turned off the utilities, the utility companies would not turn it back on with out a new easement. Before I sold the property at a significant loss, it was converted from a residential property to a commercial property.

My lawyer that I used in this transaction is now a judge and the Lawyer’s code of ethics is preventing me from getting legal support.

Thank you in advance for any information that can help assist me in recovering some or all of my losses.
