TITLE 5. LIMITATIONS AND PROHIBITED ACTIONS.

SUBTITLE 1. LIMITATIONS.

SEC. 5-101. LIMITATIONS IN GENERAL: THREE YEARS.

A CIVIL ACTION AT LAW SHALL BE FILED WITHIN THREE
YEARS FROM THE DATE IT ACCRUES UNLESS ANOTHER
PROVISION OF THE CODE PROVIDES A DIFFERENT PERIOD OF
TIME WITHIN WHICH AN ACTION SHALL BE COMMENCED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 57, §1. "Rather than
listing the various forms of action, it is
decided that a blanket three year
provision, with exceptions for other
limitations, be substituted.

This section does not affect the "notice"
statutes and other quasi limitations
elsewhere in this Code. These statutes
require that the defendant be notified of
the plaintiff's intention to sue within a
given time limit.
