Question

Sara believes that she has a strong case against Tom for the breach of an employment contract. Despite this belief, Sara cannot file a suit against Tom after the expiration of the time allowed for the filing undera) the statute of limitations.b) the doctrine of laches.c) an equitable maxim.d) the remedy at law.

Answer 1

The correct answer is a) The statue of limitations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statue of limitations is a law that sets a time limit to pursue legal action against an alleged offense. After that period of time is up, it is no longer possible to initiate a claim, regardless of its underlying merits. This time limit varies depending many factors, e.g. the severity of the crime, the amount of time evidence can last and the jurisdiction of the crime. In the case of serious crimes, for instance, genocide and murder, there is no statue of limitations and legal claims can be filed at any time.
