- 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
