2. “This Court in White v. White , determined that where there is a claim, it must be brought, if at all, within the applicable limitations period, regardless of whether the current substantive law permits recovery. Id. There can be no tolling of the statute of limitations unless the person is personally prohibited from bringing suit. . . . The decision in White explained that there was no savings or tolling of the statute of limitations unless an individual is personally prohibited or restrained from commencing or prosecuting his claim; the fact that he cannot recover because of an applicable defense or immunity does not toll the running of the statute of limitations. White , 601 So.2d at 865 .”

3. “[T]he savings clause in § 15-1-57 of Miss. Code Ann. only applies where a plaintiff is personally prohibited or restrained from bringing suit. It speaks in terms of a person being prohibited by law from bringing suit. White [ v. White , 601 So.2d 864 , 865 (Miss. 1992)]. The statute was enacted to protect those who are disabled to sue at all, not a rule that says they will lose if they bring suit. Id.”
