Bendix Corporation v. Stagg

McNEILLY, Justice:

This interlocutory appeal is from the Superior Court’s denial of defendant Bendix’s Motion for Summary Judgment. 1 Defendant contends that plaintiff’s product liability claim is barred by the applicable Statute of Limitations 10 Del.C. § 8119. 2 The issue before this Court is whether the discovery rule we enunciated in Layton v. Allen, Del.Supr., 246 A.2d 794 (1968) is applicable in a product liability action involving latent diseases. The Superior Court answered in the affirmative. Stagg v. Bendix, Del.Super., 472 A.2d 40 (1984). We agree and hereby Affirm.
