How courts have described this case

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

  • stating that it is \not consistent with Maryland law\ to hold that a cause of action accrues only after \the resolution of any subsequent appeal\
  • affirming dismissal of claim with prejudice because claim had been pending for more than a year-and-a-half, and, without legitimate reason, plaintiffs requested dismissal one month before trial
  • “In sum, a cause of action accrues when (1) it comes into existence . .. and (2) the claimant acquires knowledge sufficient to make inquiry, and a reasonable inquiry would have disclosed the existence of the allegedly negligent act and harm.”
