ON PETITION TO TRANSFER.
SELBY, J.
We grant transfer in this case to clarify 1) our decision in Fager v. Hundt, 610 N.E.2d 246 (Ind.1993), and 2) the role of expert opinion evidence in cases where plaintiffs claim that repressed memory of childhood sexual abuse has caused them to delay filing until after the statutory period of limitations has expired. In so doing, we shall also discuss the degree to which the reliability of expert opinion testimony must be proved at the summary judgment stage of proceedings.
