Erickson Air-Crane Co. v. United Technologies Corp.

This case is on remand from the Supreme Court. 303 Or 281, 735 P2d 614, 303 Or 452, 736 P2d 1023 (1987). In our opinion, 79 Or App 659, 720 P2d 389 (1986), we determined that plaintiffs claim was barred by ORS 30.905(1), the statute of ultimate repose for product liability actions. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that ORS 30.905 applies only to acts, omissions or conditions occurring on or before the date that the product was first purchased. Acts or omissions after that date are governed by ORS 12.115. The Supreme Court remanded the case to us to consider the remaining issues.
