Docket entry

191194 Hampton v. Meyer 08/27/2020 Misidentification in an initial complaint of the identity of the defendant driver of a large sport utility vehicle that struck plaintiff's vehicle was a misnomer, rather than a misjoinder, and the filing of a new complaint to correct it after a nonsuit was not barred by the statute of limitations. The judgment of the circuit court dismissing a personal injury action on limitating grounds is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
