Parmley v. Moose

Jack Holt, Jr., Chief Justice.

This appeal raises issues concerning the scope of our holding in Weidrick v. Arnold, 310 Ark. 138, 835 S.W.2d 843 (1992), a medical malpractice case, in relation to Ark. Code Ann. § 16-114-204 (Supp. 1993)(“Notice of intent to sue”)- In the present case, the trial court correctly dismissed appellant Nora Parmley’s medical malpractice action with prejudice, ruling that the statute was invalidated in its entirety by Weidrick and that the two-year statute of limitations set forth in Ark. Code Ann. § 16-114-203(a) (Supp. 1993) is controlling.

We addressed this matter…
