Docket entry
961338 Ward v. Insurance Company of North America 02/28/1997 Since the courts in the Commonwealth must use calendar years and not 365-day periods when computing whether a statute of limitations has expired, and since the plaintiff filed her motion for judgment within five calendar years from the date her cause of action against the defendants accrued, she was entitled to both the tolling provision applicable to nonsuits and the statutory time extension contained in Code § 1-13.3:1. The trial court judgment dismissing the suit is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
