Steven E. McCullough
2019 ND 268935 N.W.2d 654
Oral Argument
9/24/2019
Highlight
The two year statute of limitations for malpractice claims begins to run when the client discovers his attorney’s negligence and suffers some damage.
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by awarding fees, under N.D.C.C. § 28-26-06(5), for expert witnesses who were unnecessary to resolve a motion for summary judgment when the completion of fact discovery and the disclosure of expert witnesses was required prior to the summary judgment motion deadline.
