Law Court: After upholding the application of the “due diligence” requirement of the discovery rule, which prevents the commencement of the limitations period on a fraud claim (here intentional misrepresentation) until “the existence of the cause of action or fraud is discovered or should have been discovered by the plaintiff in the exercise of due diligence and ordinary prudence,” the court held that it was for the jury to decide whether plaintiff exercised due diligence despite failing to check the registry of deeds after receipt of a free-of-encumbrances representation in a warranty deed
First Circuit: In an unpublished decision, the court affirmed summary judgment for United States Park Service on Federal Tort Claims Act slip-and-fall claim after rejecting plaintiff’s argument that the government bears the burden of showing that discretionary function was “policy driven”
