November 4, 1932.
United States Radium Corp.
,
535 Pearl Street,
New York City.
Att: Mr. Lee.
My dear Mr. Lee:
You will remember we had up in the radium
cases the question as to when the Statute of Limitations began
to run. You will recall I have always insisted that the
Statute began to run from the time of the commission of the
negligent act.
I enclose herewith copy of an opinion by
our Court of Errors and Appeals in the case of Murray Weinstein
V. Oliver R. Blanchard, in which you will note that the Court
of Errors and Appeals holds that the Statute begins to run from
the time of the commission of the negligent act. In other
words, as affecting the United States Radium cases, it is now
settled in this State that the Statute of Limitations in New
Jersey would begin to run from the last day the girl worked
for your Company. This does away with the contention of some
of the counsel that the Statute did not begin to run until the
injury began to manifest itself, or until the in jured knew of
the injury.
Very truly yours,
EFS:RH
