Statute Of Limitations Defense
Ask Your Question For FreeSummary
The statute of limitations for contract claims in New Jersey is six years. If the plaintiff knew about the issuance of the EPA license in 2001 and filed the lawsuit in 2020, the claim is likely barred. Even if the plaintiff contributed to the acquisition, the elapsed time is crucial. A verbal contract under RUPA lacks formal attributes, making it difficult to claim ownership. If the plaintiff continues litigation despite strong evidence, consider filing a motion for sanctions due to frivolous litigation.Full Conversation

another question. his claim is based on an alleged verbal contract under RUPA. this would mean an alleged entity was formed but without a written agreement this entity would have no name, no bank account, or no tax ID. So it would be impossible if i had acquired the asset in the name of the partnership. therefore all i must do is show he knew the asset was issued and waited 6 years before making a formal complaint. also since it was epa issued a diligent person could have verified this issue date by freedom of information
Hello ****,
To address your question about the alleged verbal contract under the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA):
- **Entity Formation:** A verbal agreement can form a partnership under RUPA, but it lacks formal attributes like a name, bank account, or tax ID.
- **Statute of Limitations:** You still need to prove the plaintiff knew about the issuance of the EPA license and that more than 6 years have passed.
- **Evidence:** Documented proof that the plaintiff had knowledge of the issuance date and did not act within the *-year period is crucial.

a question if plaintiff after this information is filed in a summary judgement motion continues with litigation do i have a strong change of obtaining damages
Hello ****,
If the plaintiff continues with litigation after your summary judgment motion is filed, your likelihood of obtaining damages depends on several factors:
- **Strength of Evidence:** Your evidence supporting the statute of limitations defense.
- **Court's Ruling:** Whether the court grants your summary judgment motion.
- **Nature of Damages:** The specific damages you're seeking.

if plaintiff continues and i present the evidence discussed, plaintiff admits knowing when the license was issued, it had to be in my name, and this occurred in * while the lawsuit was filed in *, then to continue with requiring me to pay legal fees to submit unnecessary motions would seem to be frivolous
Hello ****,
Based on your situation, if the plaintiff continues with litigation despite the strong evidence supporting your defense under the statute of limitations, you might consider filing a motion for sanctions due to frivolous litigation. Here are the key points:
- **Frivolous Litigation:** Continuing litigation without merit can be considered frivolous.
- **Sanctions:** You could request the court to impose sanctions, including legal fees.
