Text: ¶ 7. A trial court's grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo. Moss v. Batesville Casket Co., 935 So.2d 393, 398 (Miss.2006). A grant of summary judgment will be upheld only when, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, there are no genuine issues of material fact. Miss. R. Civ. P. 56(c); Northern Elec. Co. v. Phillips, 660 So.2d 1278, 1281 (Miss.1995). Only when the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law is summary judgment appropriate. Id. This Court uses a de novo standard of review when presented with questions of law, including issues concerning statutes of limitations. ABC Mfg. Corp. v. Doyle, 749 So.2d 43, 45 (Miss.1999) (citing Ellis v. Anderson Tully Co., 727 So.2d 716, 718 (Miss.1998)).
