Docket entry
000260 Waterman v. Halverson 01/12/2001 The trial court erred in dismissing plaintiff's renewed motion for judgment in a medical malpractice case as barred by the statute of limitations based on an interpretation of the one-year service rule codified in Code § 8.01-275.1. Since that section did not limit the jurisdiction of the trial court to grant a nonsuit of a prior proceeding, the renewed suit filed within six months of the nonsuit order was timely. The judgment is reversed and the case remanded.
