Murphy v. Hoard
By Third District, at Austin Texas Court of Appeals
- Release Date: 2005-06-30
- Genre: Law
Description
In this legal malpractice case, appellants appeal the trial courts take nothing summary judgment in favor of appellees. In five issues, appellants generally contend the trial court erred by granting appellees motions for summary judgment because it (1) improperly applied the discovery rule, (2) failed to apply the Hughes tolling rule, (3) erred in concluding limitations had run as to Kane, Russell, Coleman &; Logan (KRCL) and William Elliott because, even assuming the trial court correctly applied the discovery and Hughes rules, KRCL and Elliott committed malpractice and breached their fiduciary duty to appellants within the limitations period, and (4) failed to grant appellants motion for continuance. We overrule appellants issues and affirm the trial courts judgment.
