Indiana Court of Appeals
City of Marion v. London Witte Group, LLC, Chad Seybold, Estate of Michael Y. An, Global Investment Consulting, Inc., and World Enterprise Group, Inc.

Finds the discovery rule bars the negligence and breach claims, and none of the discovery rule exceptions apply.

Remands with instructions to enter summary judgment in LWG’s favor on the city’s claim for constructive fraud/unjust enrichment.
