How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that concealing identity gave rise to fraudulent concealment cause of action
  • observing that doctrine permits litigants to avoid “the expense and vexation attending relitigation of causes of action which have been fully and fairly decided”
  • holding dismissal of complaint to be improper where allegations in complaint were adequate to state cause of action or basis for tolling applicable statute of limitations
  • finding that “[t]here is an inherent problem in using a motion to dismiss for purposes of raising a statute of limitations defense” because of the likelihood that a plaintiff “can raise factual setoffs to such an affirmative defense”
