At issue in this case is a dispute over the possession of shares of the Chiriqui Sugar Mills Corporation. The trial court held that the suit over the shares was untimely and that equitable estoppel did not revive the Ryans' claims because they did not have knowledge of the underlying claim during the statute of limitations period. The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that a party must have knowledge of a cause of action during the limitations period in order to effectively assert equitable estoppel against a statute of limitations bar. The Ryans seek review on the grounds of express and direct conflict with a Florida Supreme Court case.
