Robert Houllahan v. Louis E. Gelineau, Peter Cummings v. Louis E. Gelineau, Philip Edwardo v. Roman Catholic Bishop…

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of all claims, holding that the defendants are non‑perpetrator defendants under G.L. 1956 § 9‑1‑51 and therefore the thirty‑five‑year retroactive limitations period does not apply. The Court also ruled that the statute of limitations was not tolled by equitable estoppel or fraudulent concealment and that plaintiff Edwardo’s New York claim was not preserved for appellate review.
