How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the last act necessary for a claim against a tortfeasor refers to the place where the plaintiff became ill
• equating “plaintiffs discovery of his illness” with the “starting of the statute of limitations”
• applying New York’s borrowing statute to a claim based on asbestos exposure, and concluding that “[i]t seems clear that, where slowly developing personal injury claims ... are concerned, this ‘last event’ is the fact of plaintiffs becoming ill.”
• “last event,” and thus accrual date for borrowing statute purposes, in asbestos case, held to be plaintiffs “becoming ill_ not necessarily plaintiffs discovery of his illness”
