Fluke Corporation v. Lemaster, 306 S.W.3rd 55 (Ky. 2010) Click HERE to view the decision.
The Kentucky Supreme Court in a unanimous opinion held that the doctrine of equitable estoppel did not bar a product manufacturer’s statute of limitations defense because of the manufacturer’s alleged concealment of product defects from governmental regulatory agencies. The Court also held that the discovery rule would not be extended to cases not involving latent injuries or illnesses, or professional malpractice.
