Petition of New Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families

Summary

The New Hampshire Supreme Court held that the discovery rule in RSA 508:4, I applies to claims filed under RSA 541-B:14, IV, affirming the trial court’s denial of DCYF’s motions to dismiss and remanding for further proceedings. The Court also rejected the argument that RSA 541-B:9, I precludes the discovery rule, emphasizing harmonious statutory construction.
