Time is an ancient recurring theme in litigation. How long will it take? When will the case be decided? How long do I have to sue? Is it too late? The concept is biblical in scope: Deuteronomy 15:1-2 sets a seven-year statute on debt claims, not significantly different from the six-year period in CPLR 213.
There are three important issues in statute of limitations analysis: The date of commencement, the length of the statute and tolling of the running of the statute.
