Statute of repose

Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-004683

A law that sets an absolute deadline for bringing a lawsuit, regardless of when the injury or damage was discovered. Unlike a statute of limitations, it begins to run from a specific event, such as the completion of a product or construction project. This provides a definitive end to potential liability.
