Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Smith finds the lower court properly dismissed the contract claim filed by the general contractor against the masonry company. Any defects in fireplaces should have been discovered when the homes were finished in 2016, which means the 2021 claim was barred by Mississippi's three-year statute of limitations. However, because the first fire did not occur until 2018, the negligence claims were not barred by the same statute of limitations and will be reinstated upon remand. Affirmed in part.
