• holding on a motion to dismiss that fraud could not toll a statute of limitation because the plaintiffs “were clearly put on notice of [the] alleged mismanagement of the partnership’s affairs” long before the limitation period expired
• applying six-year contract limitation period to claims of fiduciary duty arising out of a real estate partnership
• “[A]ppellant must establish intentional concealment and actual deterrence before the limitation statutes will be tolled.”
• claim added through amendment to renewal complaint relates back to original action
• “[A]lthough issues concerning a plaintiff's diligence in discovering fraud usually must be resolved by the trier of fact, this is not always the case. A party may fail to exercise due diligence as a matter of law.”
