Effs v. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Inc.

The question presented in this appeal is whether the “continuing tort” doctrine is applicable to Richard Effs’ (“Effs”) claim for tortious interference with a business relationship against Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Inc. (“Sony Pictures”), which, if applicable, would delay the commencement of the four-year statute of limitations. Because we conclude that the continuing tort doctrine is not applicable, we find that Effs’ claim was barred by the expiration of the statute of limitations, and therefore, affirm the entry of final judgment in favor of Sony Pictures.
