Re: Statue of limitiations for breach of contract

You asked if you could file a complaint regarding a 17 year old claim.

Probably not. Statutes of limitations provide respite from the threat of potential litigation following a person forever. In many cases the SoL is two or three years for civil claims. Sometimes it is as little as one year or even six months.

It is important for a person to pursue a legal claim with all due haste and not to delay except for reasons necessary to the claim.

Regards,

Roger
