Texas Supreme Court
Catherine Borderlon, Petitioner v. Dr. Reigh Peck, Respondent
July 6, 198326 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 494
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Article 4590i, section 10.01 does not eliminate fraudulent concealment as an equitable estoppel to the statute‑of‑limitations defense in medical malpractice actions, reversing the lower courts and remanding for trial. Justice Barrow dissented, arguing the statute creates an absolute two‑year limit that precludes any fraud exception.
