Swafford v. Huntsman Springs Inc

Appellants Ronald and Margaret Swafford challenged a district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Respondent Huntsman Springs, Inc. The action stemmed from the Swaffords’ claim that Huntsman Springs failed to comply with the Master Plan by essentially cutting off their property from the development. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Huntsman Springs after concluding that all of the Swaffords’ claims were barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. It was uncontested that the improvements were completed in 2008. Without ruling upon whether Huntsman Springs misrepresented the development of the property at issue, the Idaho Supreme Court determined if Huntsman Springs misrepresented the development of the Property, the Swaffords could have discovered the misrepresentation when the improvements were completed in 2008. The Swaffords did not bring their misrepresentation action until July 17, 2015, which was nearly four years after the deadline. Finding no genuine issues of fact with respect to the time at which the Swaffords' causes of action accrued, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court's judgment. View "Swafford v.
