New York Court of Appeals
Kevin McCarthy v. Volkswagen of America, Inc.
May 11, 198255 N.Y.2d 543
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the plaintiff's post‑traumatic neurosis does not satisfy the statutory definition of "insanity" for tolling purposes under CPLR 208, and therefore the claim is barred by the three‑year statute of limitations.
