statute of repose<\/span>:<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/strong>(18c)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. A statute barring any suit that is brought after a specified time since the defendant\u00a0<\/strong>acted (such as by designing or manufacturing a product), even if this period ends before the\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>plaintiff has suffered a resulting<\/span> injury<\/a>. <\/span><\/strong>[1]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Unlike <\/span>statute of limitations<\/a>, statutes of repose establish a maximum period of time in which an action can be brought, whether or not there has been an<\/span> injury<\/a>.\u00a0 Statutes of repose relate only in civil cases.<\/span><\/strong> [2]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201c<\/span>A statute of repose… limits the time within which an action\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>may be brought and is not related to the accrual of any cause of action<\/a><\/strong>; the injury<\/a> need not have occurred, much less have been\u00a0<\/strong>discovered.\u00a0 Unlike an ordinary statute of limitations<\/a> which begins\u00a0<\/strong>running upon accrual of the claim<\/a>, the period contained in a\u00a0<\/strong>statute of repose begins when a specific event occurs, regardless of\u00a0<\/strong>whether a cause of action<\/a> has accrued or whether any injury<\/a> has\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>resulted.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>[3]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
