Uhler v. Doak

In Uhler v. Doak, 268 MT 191, 885 P.2d 1297 (1994), the Court held that an action could not be brought until all of the elements of such cause of action had occurred, citing 27-2-102, MCA. The Court determined in Uhler that the Plaintiff had not been damaged until he acted upon the advice given by counsel. The advice had been given back in May of 1989, but Uhler's actions upon that advice did not occur until June 16, 1989. A subsequent claim for legal malpractice filed on June 1, 1992, was held to be timely.
