Fraudulent concealment

Fraudulent concealment is an equitable doctrine that may be used to toll the statute of limitations. Top establish fraudulent concealment, a plaintiff must generally plead and prove that:


 * 1) the defendant concealed the conduct that constitutes the cause of action,
 * 2) the defendant's concealment prevented plaintiff from discovering the cause of action within the limitations period, and
 * 3) the plaintiff exercised due diligence in attempting to discover the cause of action.
