Statutes
of limitations are laws that set time limits on how long legal proceedings may continue after an event has occurred. These time limits vary depending on the type of legal proceeding and also the type of event.
Statutes of limitations exist for a number of reasons. One reason is to ensure that legal proceedings are fair and that evidence is still available. Another reason to ensure that defendants not subjected to legal proceedings after significant amount of time passed.
