Description
Elizabeth Atencio was allegedly injured while playing on a merry-go-round owned by the Espanola Housing Authority in the City of Espanola. Suit to recover for her injuries was brought almost three years later and Espanola asserted the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations. The trial court dismissed the case and the respondents appealed challenging the constitutionality of § 23-1-23, N.M.S.A. 1953, on equal protection grounds. The Court of Appeals reversed the district court and found that § 23-1-23 was unconstitutional. We granted certiorari and affirm the decision of the trial court.
