On Tuesday, the Maryland Supreme Court heard oral arguments in three related cases that raise the question of whether the Maryland Child Victims Act of 2023 impermissibly abrogated a vested right created by a 2017 statute. The 2023 Act eliminated the statute of limitations for damage actions alleging sexual abuse while the victim was a minor. The cases heard by the court are Key School, Inc. v. Bunker (video of oral argument); Board of Education of Harford County v. John Doe (videos of oral argument on constitutional question and on standing); and Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington v. John Doe (video of oral argument). AP reports on the oral arguments. [Thanks to Thomas Rutledge for the lead.]
