Statute of Limitations
In Illinois an architect filed a Motion to Dismiss a lawsuit raised after the 4 year statute of limitations had expired.?The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss indicating “As such, when a plaintiff relies on the discovery rule, a determination of timeliness is premature at the pleading stage and should rather be raised in a motion for summary judgment.” The lesson is hold onto your documents at least until the statute of repose/limitations combination has run, as nothing in life is certain. ?St. Kateri Tekawitha Parish v.
