Weatherholtz, K., Aplt. v. McKelvey, D.

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the six‑year statute of limitations for protective‑order petitions under the Protection of Victims of Sexual Violence or Intimidation Act begins to run when a plaintiff can demonstrate a continued risk of harm, not when the underlying sexual violence occurred. It reversed the Superior Court’s decision and remanded for further review of the remaining issues. The Court applied a de novo standard of review.
