Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When a cause of action accrues against a person and that person
is out of the state or has concealed himself, the period limited for
the commencement of the action shall not begin to run until he comes
into the state, or while he is concealed.  If, after a cause of
action accrues against a person and that person leaves the state or
conceals himself, the time of his absence or concealment shall not
be computed as any part of the period within which the action must
be brought.  Provided, however, that if any statute which extends
the exercise of personal jurisdiction of courts over a person or
corporation based upon service outside this state, or based upon
substituted service upon an official of this or any other state or
nation, or based upon service by publication permits the courts of
this state to acquire personal jurisdiction over the person, the
period of his absence or concealment shall be computed as part of
the period within which the action must be brought.
