***********************
accrual rule:
(1939)
1. A doctrine delaying the existence of a claim until the plaintiff has discovered it. * The accrual rule arose in fraud cases as an exception to the general limitations rule that a claim comes into existence once the plaintiff knows, or with due diligence should know, facts to form the bases for a cause of action. See Merck & Co. v. Reynolds, 559 U.S. 633, 646-47, 130 S.Ct. 1784, 1794-95 (2010). [1]
