Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statutes of repose were actually enacted to limit the liability and potential lawsuits faced by manufacturers and other defendants, by setting a specific time period after which they cannot be sued, even if the harm or injury suffered by the plaintiff was not immediately discovered or apparent. Statutes of limitations, on the other hand, are intended to provide a reasonable window of time for plaintiffs to seek legal action for harm done to them, and can vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of claim involved.
