Terry Quarry, Plaintiffs and Appellants v. Doe I, Defendant and Respondent — Corrigan, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Corrigan, dissenting, would hold that the 2002 amendments revived plaintiffs’ claims and that the one-year filing window did not apply to claims undiscovered as of January 1, 2003; those claims should instead receive the three-year discovery period. She reasoned that the savings clause preserved claims not time-barred on that date and that applying the window to undiscovered claims would produce arbitrary results inconsistent with the statute’s remedial purpose. Justice Liu, dissenting separately, agreed with Corrigan’s statutory interpretation and additionally argued that plaintiffs’ undiscovered claims may never have lapsed before the 2002 amendments.
