Notes of Decisions
This section did not toll limitation period of ORS 12.110 where defendant foreign corporation could have been served under [former] ORS 57.700. Santos v. The Flxible Co. Inc., 41 Or App 89, 597 P2d 373 (1979)

Statute of limitations was tolled when defendant left Oregon and resided out of state after cause of action accrued and fact that defendant may have been amenable to service is not exception to tolling. Gary M. Buford and Associates, Inc. v. Guillory, 98 Or App 691, 780 P2d 783 (1989), Sup Ct review denied. But see Wright v. Osborne, 151 Or App 466, 949 P2d 321 (1997), Sup Ct review denied
Limitation period is not tolled by absence of defendant from state or by concealment where substituted service on state agency is available. Wright v. Osborne, 151 Or App 466, 949 P2d 321 (1997), Sup Ct review denied
Where plaintiff filed action against defendant more than six years after claims accrued but defendant moved out of state after claims accrued and before plaintiff filed action, ORCP 4 permits plaintiff to serve defendant out of state for purposes of litigating in-state claims and plaintiff's action was timely filed. Knappenberger v. Davis-Stanton, 271 Or App 14, 351 P3d 54 (2015)
Notes of Decisions
An action for personal injuries caused by breach of implied warranty is clearly one for which "different limitation is prescribed by statute" under ORS 12.010 and thus is not governed by provisions of this chapter. Redfield v. Mead, Johnson & Co., 266 Or 273, 512 P2d 776 (1973)
