Description
Civil Procedure Before Trial STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS takes an analytic approach to identifying applicable statutes of limitations and resolving frequently encountered statute of limitations issues. Authored by two well-respected California Court of Appeal justices, this work includes a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the unique challenges that statutes of limitations provide to civil litigators. Statutes of limitations are of critical importance to both plaintiffs and defendants lawyers: a missed statute can bar a plaintiffs meritorious case or help a defendant prevail even where there may have been some liability. These issues arise and may be litigated at all stages of proceedings, from demurrers to motions for summary judgment, in motions in limine and during trial and in post-trial proceedings. This Practice Guide helps practitioners identify applicable California and Federal statutes of limitations and the doctrines that measure or extend the statutory periods. Contents cover: General considerations Determining the applicable statute of limitations Accrual Time periods for particular causes of action Statutory tolling Equitable tolling Equitable estoppel Relation back doctrine
