Pointe San Diego Residential Community L.P. v. Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch, LLP

Opinion

HALLER, J.

Three entities sued their former attorneys alleging professional negligence and related claims.1 The. court entered judgment in defendants’ favor after sustaining a demurrer without leave to amend and granting a judgment on the pleadings on plaintiffs’ fourth amended complaint. The court concluded each of the claims was barred by the statute of limitations and the relation-back doctrine was inapplicable. We reverse, determining the claims related back to an earlier, timely filed complaint.
