It appears that the statute you reference would apply to your situation, except that if the original statute of limitations on the matter had not expired, it is doubtful that the plaintiff would be limited by the one year time frame. I have not researched this point, and will be interested in the comments of others.

I also agree that it appears that it does not apply however it would be in the hands of the court. In any instance a case should be filed ASAP
