Anderson v. Fred Wagner

In Anderson v. Fred Wagner, 402 So. 2d 320, 322 (Miss.1981) the Mississippi Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Miss Code Ann. 15-1-41, stating: "It has always been considered a proper function of legislatures to limit the availability of causes of action by the use of statutes of limitation so long as it is done for the purposes of protecting a recognized public interest. It is in the interest of the public that there be a definite end to the possibility of future litigation resulting from past actions. It is a permissible constitutional legislative function to balance the possibility of outlawing legitimate claims against the public need that at some definite time there be an end to potential litigation."
