This whistleblower action was before the Court of Appeals on remand from the Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of Sipe v. STS Mfg., Inc., 834 N.W.2d 683 (Minn. 2013). The District Court granted summary judgment for respondent on the ground that appellant’s whistleblower claim was untimely under the two-year statute of limitations that applies to intentional torts. The Court of Appeals concluded that the six-year statute of limitations under Minn. Stat. sec. 541.05, subd. 1(2), applies to a whistleblower action under Minn. Stat. sec. 181.932, subd. 1(1). Reversed and remanded.
