Description

William A. Kenyon, Jr. and his wife, Sharon D. Kenyon (plaintiffs) brought a medical malpractice action against Raymond E. Hammer, M.D., and his wife (defendants). Defendants moved for summary judgment. The trial court granted the motion and entered judgment for defendants. The court of appeals reversed and defendants petitioned this court for review. The issue presented by the operative facts is whether the statute of limitations for medical malpractice actions (A.R.S. § 12-564(A)) is constitutional as applied to this case. We granted review because of the importance of that legal question. Ariz.R.Civ.App.P., Rule 23(c) 17A A.R.S. After granting review we ordered the parties to file supplemental briefs, set the matter for oral argument and permitted several amici to brief the issue. Id. Rule 23(f). We vacate the opinion of the court of appeals, 142 Ariz. 124, 688 P.2d 1016 (App.1983), reverse the judgment of the trial court and hold that the statute violates Article 2, § 13 of the Arizona Constitution. That holding and the opinion which follows are based entirely on state constitutional grounds; federal authority is cited only for the purpose of guidance and not because it compels the result which we reach. Michigan v. Long, 463 U.S. 1032, 103 S.Ct. 3469, 77 L.Ed.2d 1201 (1983).
