United National Insurance v. J.H. France Refractories Co.

ZAPPALA, Justice,

concurring.

I join in the Majority Opinion, as I believe it is a reasonable construction of a poorly drawn statute. The inconsistency between the first clause, making the statute of limitations applicable to equity actions, and the second clause, indicating that nothing in the statute shall “modify the principles of ... laches ... heretofore applicable in equity matters” is readily apparent. I would respectfully suggest that the General Assembly clarify its intention by redrafting this provision.

CAPPY, J., joins this concurring Opinion.
