Statute of Repose

A statute of repose is similar to a statute of limitations in that it sets a specific time limitation on claims that may be brought against a particular party. A statute of repose sets a maximum or outside time limit after which a cause of action cannot be brought. 

A statute of repose that applies to the construction of a structure begins to run from the time of the completion of the construction, rather than from the time of any injury.
