Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-105

Section 16-56-105 sets a three-year limit for professional negligence claims; fraudulent concealment does not toll that limit when the alleged fraud is not pleaded with particularity.

A written acknowledgment of an oral debt starts a new three-year limitations period but does not convert the obligation into a written contract subject to a five-year period.

Still v. Perroni Law Firm · filed 2011-10-27

We conclude that the reasoning in Shelton and other state courts, combined with the lack of language in Blake and other cases concerning whether a written acknowledgment of a debt converts an oral obligation into a written contract, supports the conclusion that the security agreement merely acknowledged the debt agreed to in the oral agreement between Perroni and Still and extended the limitations period for an oral contract for another three years. However, the acknowledgment of the debt in no way removed that original agreement from an extended three-year statute of limitations; nor did it convert the limitations period into a five-year term.
