| tips = Since June 2013, the new ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8qx3 Limitation Act]'' has simplified time limits for filing civil lawsuits. Instead of many different basic limitation periods based on the type of legal action, there is now a single two-year basic limitation period for all civil claims. Exceptions to this are civil claims that enforce a monetary judgment, specifically listed "[http://canlii.ca/t/8qx3#sec3subsec1 exempted claims]" and actions that have limitation periods set by other statutes. The new Act also introduced a 15-year ultimate limitation period. The new Act’s limitation periods apply to claims arising from acts or omissions that occur and are discovered on or after June 1, 2013. | | tips = Since June 2013, the new ''[http://canlii.ca/t/8qx3 Limitation Act]'' has simplified time limits for filing civil lawsuits.
