U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3919
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Torts. The court could not say that Iowa courts would expand
the adverse domination doctrine to extend the statute of limitations to
cover the situation where a plaintiff brings a claim of negligence against
third parties, such as defendant Lightowler, who are not agents of the
corporation or alleged co-conspirators of corporate agents; plaintiff's
claims were time-barred as plaintiff had notice of the defects in
November, 2003, more than five years before it brought suit.
