Simon v. Forer

In this appeal, we decide whether a statute of limitations is tolled upon commencement of a nonsuited action when the plaintiff does not renew the action within six months from the date of the nonsuit order. The circuit court concluded that the recommenced action was barred because it was filed outside both the original two-year statute of limitations and the six-month period following entry of the nonsuit order. Finding no error, we will affirm the circuit court’s judgment.
