Understanding Timelines and Limitation Periods in Alberta

Navigating timelines and limitation periods is critical in Alberta civil litigation to protect your rights and avoid losing your ability to pursue a claim. Under the Limitations Act, RSA 2000, c L-12, most civil claims must be filed within two years from the date you knew or reasonably should have known of the injury, loss, or damage.

Key points for Calgary clients:

  • Basic Two-Year Limit: Applies to contract disputes, negligence, debt recovery, and most tort claims — starting from the “discovery” date when the claim became apparent.
  • Special Rules: Shorter periods for specific claims, like 1 year for construction liens or 2 years for personal injury; no limit for fraud discovered later.
  • Acknowledgment Resets Clock: A written admission of debt by the debtor can restart the limitation period.
  • Civil Enforcement Timelines: After judgment, strict deadlines apply — e.g., corporate debtors must complete Form 14 within 15 days of service, or face court applications to compel compliance.
  • Interim Steps Matter: Filing a statement of claim or writ of enforcement stops the clock and preserves your position.

Missing a limitation period can bar your claim permanently. Forum Law’s Calgary litigation lawyers help you assess deadlines early, ensure timely filings, and manage enforcement timelines like writs and Form 14 demands to keep your case on track. Contact us for a review of your situation.
