Gayle Penley v. Honda Motor Company, Ltd.

Summary

The court held that the Tennessee Products Liability Act's ten-year statute of repose is not tolled during a plaintiff's period of mental incompetency. Because the plaintiff filed suit more than ten years after the ATV was first purchased, and neither the products-liability statute nor the general legal-disability statute created an applicable exception, summary judgment for the defendants was proper and the action was dismissed.
