Practical Notes
When this applies: When computing a filing deadline under another state’s law. Who this affects: Parties in multi-state lawsuits. Key points: You use the other state’s tolling and accrual rules but not their conflict-of-laws rules, which prevents an endless loop of referrals between states.
