What is the difference in the "Statute of Limitations" and the "Statute of Repose" in an aviation case?
A: In the context of aviation litigation, a "Statute of Limitation" is a legislative imposed limit on the time in which a lawsuit may be filed. It differs from a "Statute of Repose" in that the latter has to do with how long an airplane or part has been in service. The applicable time periods varies depending on the jurisdiction in which your case would be filed.
In Tennessee for example the "Statute of Limitations" is One yers from the negligent act causing the crash. The "Statute of Repose" is much longer and would depend on the particular facts of the case.
