Is there one limitation period for all civil cases?

Civil Cases & Dispute Resolution

No. Different claims have different limitation periods.

Contract claims, property claims, family claims, fraud-related claims, succession claims and other civil matters can have different deadlines under their substantive statutes.

A Help Centre should never publish “all civil cases must be filed within X days.”
