Citation: Allstate v. Ploutis, N (2015).
Holding
Allstate Property and Casualty Insurance Company (“Allstate”) appeals from a judgment entered against it in this breach of contract action brought by Jennifer L. Ploutis for payment of losses claimed under a homeowner’s insurance policy issued by Allstate. Allstate contends the circuit court erred in ruling that Code § 8.01-229(E)(3), providing for tolling of the statute of limitations of nonsuited actions, applies to the contractual period of limitations for filing an action under its policy.
We agree and will reverse the judgment of the circuit court.
