Larissa Troy v. Bishop Guertin High School & a.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire reversed the Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment, holding that a genuine factual dispute exists as to when the plaintiff discovered the causal connection between her injuries and the defendants’ hiring, retaining, and supervising of a convicted sex offender, so the discovery‑rule tolling provision of RSA 508:4‑g, II does not bar her claims. The court emphasized that knowledge of the abuser’s employer alone does not satisfy the causal‑connection prong of the discovery rule.
