Syllabus

FRAUD - STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to defendant seller of real property on plaintiff buyer's claim for fraud where that claim was filed outside of the applicable four-year statute of limitations. [But see DISSENT: The trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of defendant seller where the court failed to construe the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiff buyer. Where the factual question of concealment is close, as in this case, the law requires that a jury decide what event triggered the statute of limitations.]
