Schoenrock v. Tappegreen2 sentences1998For that reason, we, in Succession of Smith , borrowed language from a decision by the South Dakota Supreme Court, Schoenrock v. Tappe, 419 N.W.2d 197, 201 (S.D. 1988), and adopted the views expressed therein that the continuous representation rule should apply only "where the professional's involvement after the alleged malpractice is for the performance of the same or related services and is not merely continuity of a general professional relationship." Succession of Smith, 565 So.2d at 995 . 1990However, other states have ruled on the issue and we elect to borrow the statement made by the supreme court of South Dakota in Schoenrock v. Tappe, 419 N.W.2d 197 (S.D.1988). [T]he continuous representation doctrine applies only to malpractice actions when `there is a clear indicia of an ongoing, continuous, developing, and dependent relationship between the client and the attorney....'

Lima v. Schmidt

1 sentence2007Like the continuing representation doctrine in legal malpractice cases, the continuing treatment doctrine in medical malpractice cases applies "where the professional's involvement after the alleged malpractice is for the performance of the same or related services and is not merely continuity of a general professional relationship."

Braud v. New England Ins. Co.
