Hardy v. Vermeulen

HERBERT R. BROWN, J. In this case, the four-year period specified by R.C. 2305.11(B) would, if applied, bar the appellant's claim before he knew of the injury he suffered.1 In order to affirm we are required: (1) to find that R.C. 2305.11(B) may constitutionally achieve that result and (2) to apply R.C. 2305.11(B) retroactively to bar a cause of action where the act of malpractice occurred prior to the effective date of the statute.
