How courts have described this case

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

  • “It is this 60 day period [in V.R.C.P. 3] which controls the tolling of the statute in a diversity action.”
  • “[T]he grounds put forth by plaintiffs’ counsel here would have the effect of enlarging a remedial power devised for an exceptional case to cover what really is ‘garden-variety oversight.’”
  • plaintiffs’ failure to timely serve complaint resulted in running of limitations period
  • “[I]t is Vermont law, not Federal law, which determines when a plaintiff's action is commenced for purposes of tolling the statute of limitations” because the “Vermont Supreme Court has indicated that Vt. R. Civ. P. 3 is an integral part of Vermont’s limitations statutes.”’
