Limitation Period
One of the most common insurance claims areas is missed limitation periods. Please see the following resources for tips and assistance to help avoid this common mistake:
- Limitation Periods involving Municipalities and Cities The limitation period for claims against Municipalities and cities is not the standard two year limitation period pursuant to The Limitations Act, SS 2004, c L-16.1.
- Saskatchewan Limitations Manual
The online version of the Saskatchewan Limitations Manual contains an alphabetical list of all statutes with limitation periods, including The Limitations Act, S.S. 2004, c. L-16.1 and relevant case law annotations. On each statute name listed, a link to the text of the statute as it appears on CanLII allows the user to read the entire act or to search for the specific section within the statute - Beat the Clock – Law Society of BC
