Description
On May 28, 1974, petitioner William V. James, Jr.,1 filed a declaration in deceit in the Circuit Court for Howard County against J. Elmer Weisheit, Jr., alleging that Weisheit had defrauded him while acting as his attorney in consummating the sale of the petitioner's real estate. Weisheit included among his defenses a special plea asserting that the statute of limitations barred this action. Judge Jacob S. Levin agreed that recovery was prohibited for this reason, and by order signed on February 23, 1976, granted the respondent's motion for summary judgment. James noted an appeal to the Court of Special Appeals, but we granted certiorari before that court considered the case. We likewise conclude that limitations constitute a bar to James' recovery and consequently will affirm the judgment of the trial court.
