ALFORD v. CATALYTICA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC

Employer and Employee — Woodson claim — statute of limitations

A decision of the Court of Appeals that plaintiff's Woodson claim was barred by the one-year statute of limitations for intentional torts set forth in N.C.G.S. § 1-54(3) is reversed for the reason stated in the dissenting opinion that such a claim is not governed by the statute of limitations in N.C.G.S. § 1-54(3) but is governed by the catch-all three-year statute of limitations in N.C.G.S. § 1-52(5).

PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion, the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals for further remand to the Superior Court, Wake County, for proceedings not inconsistent with the dissenting opinion.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

Justice BRADY did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
