Does that make sense? I cannot fnd anything in LASORS or on the CAA website (maybe I am not trying hard enough!!)

Sorry but the AME is wrong. There IS a limit to the class 1 initial medical, as has been said I'm pretty sure it is 5 years. If you let your Class 1 lapse for more then 5 years then you are required to return to the CAA and do another initial medical. Your best option would be to call the CAA medical department and speak to one of their advisors, they will be able to give you the correct information.
