Kathryn A. Grace (Partner-McLean) obtained the dismissal of a case against a client business that conducted a structural inspection of an electrical pole that allegedly electrocuted the resident of a nearby home. The plaintiff's counsel initially sued the power company that provided electrical service to the electrical pole, but later amended the complaint to bring in the client business after the power company identified it during the course of discovery. By the time the amended complaint was filed, the applicable statute of limitations had arguably passed. The plaintiff's counsel argued to the court that the discovery rule now applies to all tort cases in West Virginia and, because his client did not and could not have learned of the identity of the firm client, he should be permitted to proceed. But the Circuit Court for Clay County, West Virginia, ruled in the client's favor based on Kathryn's oral argument and dismissed the matter with prejudice.
