Statute of Limmitations Decisions
Statute of limitations governing medical malpractice actions brought on behalf of minors, which contains both statute of limitations and statute of repose, is not unconstitutionally vague; limitations component provides additional protection to minors for malpractice claims accruing before minor reaches age of six, by allowing actions to be brought until minor reaches age nine, but does not supersede repose provision, which requires all actions to be brought within seven years of negligent act or omission. Plummer v. Gillieson (1998) 692 N.E.2d 528, 44 Mass.App.Ct. 578, review denied 699 N.E.2d 851, 427 Mass. 1107.
