Syllabus

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE – STATUTE OF REPOSE – SAVING STATUTE: The trial court erred in granting judgment on the pleadings where the saving statute had properly been invoked by plaintiff-patient seeking judgment for medical malpractice against a doctor and other medical defendants beyond the expiration of the medical malpractice statute of repose. The trial court erred in denying leave to amend the complaint where the sole ground for denying leave was that amendment of the complaint was futile because the claims were time-barred by the statute of repose.
