How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that until a plaintiff suffers damages, any negligent procurement claim is merely negligence in the abstract
  • holding that discovery rule applies in Mass. Gen. L. eh. 93A actions
  • holding that statute of limitations did not begin to run until judgment was entered against insured because until then insured had not suffered a loss, but noting fact insurer paid for insured’s defense “bears decisively on the outcome”
  • explaining that courts are “chary of treating the threat of future harm without realization of some tangible harm . . . . as the basis for concluding that damage has occurred”
  • applying the discovery rule when the breach \is not capable of being discovered because it is based on an 'inherently unknowable' wrong\
  • involving a negligence claim against an insurance broker who failed to procure the insurance policy
