Description: This project originates from the Manitoba Law Reform Commission's Limitations report, published in October 2010. In the Limitations report, the Commission identified what it saw as the primary areas of Manitoba limitations law requiring modernization, and the best ways of accomplishing that goal. The Commission recommended the abolition of various categories of claims and favoured a single, basic two-year limitation from the date of discovery, applicable to all claims unless they are otherwise dealt with in the new Act. The Commission also recommended an ultimate 15-year limitation period running from the day on which the act or omission on which the claim is based took place, beyond which no claim may be brought. This system, designed around a single basic two-year limitation period and a 15-year ultimate limitation period, will be referred to in this report as the "standard limitation regime."
