How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- fraudulent concealment did not toll limitation period where plaintiff possessed information with which timely claim could have been filed
- one well-established defense to claim of fraudulent concealment is that plaintiff knew, or by exercise of due diligence could have known, that he may have had cause of action; mere doubt by party as to right to recover in lawsuit will not suspend running of limitations period
