“(a) Tolling statutes of limitations over 180 days: Notwithstanding any other law, the statutes of limitations and repose for civil causes of action that exceed 180 days are tolled from April 6, 2020, until October 1, 2020.
(b) Tolling statutes of limitations of 180 days or less: Notwithstanding any other law, the statutes of limitations and repose for civil causes of action that are 180 days or less are tolled from April 6, 2020, until August 3, 2020.”
While the long tolling period is contrary to the short statute of limitations provided by statute – some of which are as short as 30 days - the new rule does provide certainty going forward.
