James and Joan Coyle v. William Battles, Esq. & a.

Summary

The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the Coyles’ declaratory judgment action and its grant of summary judgment on the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims. The court held that the contract claims were barred by the three‑year statute of limitations, rejecting the plaintiffs’ reliance on the discovery rule and the unadopted “continuing representation” doctrine. Accordingly, the claims were untimely and the summary judgments were proper.
