Colvin v. Courier Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• promise to settle may have lulled plaintiff into false sense of security
• fraudulent concealment doctrine applied where “the agents of the defendant misled the plaintiff into believing” that a set of circumstances existed and “lulled her into a sense of false security”
• in order for doctrine of estoppel to be applicable in bar of statute of limitations, it suffices that fraud in the broadest sense, including an unintentional deception, be proved; the criterion is not the intention of the party estopped, but the natural effect upon the other party
• “the statute remains quiescent until actual knowledge arises”
• “It is for the jury to say whether alleged remarks were made, but it is for the court to decide whether they are susceptible of the inferences attributed to them. That statements should give rise to an estoppel they must be clear and reasonably certain in their intendment.”
