Supreme Court of the United States

Trw Inc. v. Andrews — Scalia, J., concurring

November 13, 2001534 U.S. 19

Summary

Justice Scalia, joined by Justice Thomas, concurs in the judgment, agreeing that the Ninth Circuit erred in applying an injury‑discovery rule to the statute of limitations. He reiterates the traditional rule that a limitations period begins when the cause of action is complete and argues that any departure from that rule must be expressly enacted by Congress.
