When Does the Doctrine of Laches Bar a Legal Claim?
Arizona, like most states, has adopted statutes of limitation that bar parties from bringing claims based upon the passage of time since the claim arose. These limitations periods range from a few months to a decade or more, and are set forth in the Arizona Code. In many cases parties are aware of the limitations period and deliberately wait until shortly after it expires before filing suit.
