Amendola v. Kendzia · filed 2005-04-29(1), (8)
The pertinent inquiry, however, is not when the alleged agreement was made, but rather when the alleged agreement or promise and accompanying fiduciary obligation was breached. The individual plaintiffs have failed to identify any plausible accrual date prior to November 18, 1996, which, as far as this record reveals, is the earliest date upon which the alleged breach of contract and alleged breach of fiduciary duty occurred, and is also the date on which the alleged fraud was perpetrated against Kendzia. Such date was within six years of the commencement of the action, thus rendering timely the first through fourth counterclaims.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

We disagree. ... With respect to the balance of plaintiff's claims against defendants, a review of the complaint reveals that the causes of action set forth therein sound in either intentional tort, tortious interference with business relations or negligence and, therefore, are governed by either a one- or three-year statute of limitations (see CPLR 214 [4], [5]; 215).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

However, for the reasons that follow, we agree with defendant’s contention that Supreme Court erred in applying a six-year statute of limitations because, even though plaintiffs have now labeled their cause of action as one for unjust enrichment, they could have raised their claim for refunds in a CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging each annual assessment, for which the applicable statute of limitations is four months (see CPLR 217 [1]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 213(7)’s six-year limitations period applies to quasi-derivative claims allowed to proceed in an appraisal proceeding after a merger.
Zelouf International Corp. v. Zelouf · filed 2014-12-22(7)

Hence, whatever derivative claims were not time-barred in the derivative action should not be deemed time-barred in this action. Since the derivative action was commenced in December 2009, Nahal is entitled to maintain derivative claims as far back as December 2003, six years beforehand.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

In their motion, inter alia, to dismiss the complaint, the defendants established, prima facie, that the breach of contract cause of action was time-barred since it was not interposed within six years after its accrual in accordance with the statute of limitations set forth in CPLR 213 (2) (see Paonessa v C & L Bldr./Dev., Inc., 50 AD3d 1334, 1335 [2008]; see also Phillips Constr.

Section 213(2) applies a six-year limitations period to claims under a separation agreement incorporated but not merged into a divorce judgment.
Allard v. Allard · filed 2016-12-08(2)
A separation agreement, incorporated but not merged into a judgment of divorce, is an independent contract legally binding on the parties (see Merl v Merl, 67 NY2d 359, 362 [1986]; Kleila v Kleila, 50 NY2d 277, 283 [1980]; Mills v Mills, 22 AD3d 1003, 1003 [2005]; Hoyt v Hoyt, 307 AD2d 621, 622 [2003]), and is thus subject to the six-year statute of limitations applied to contract claims (see CPLR 213 [2]; Merl v Merl, 67 NY2d at 362; Tauber v Lebow, 65 NY2d 596 [1985]; Chayes v Chayes, 28 AD3d 355, 356-357 [2006]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Law changed since The Court of Appeals' People v Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC decision (June 12, 2018) required a claim-specific examination of the underlying wrong. Laws of 2019, chapter 184 then supplied an express six-year period for Attorney General § 63(12) actions in CPLR 213(9), applied retroactively in Matter of People v JUUL Labs (Jan. 5, 2023).
CPLR 213(1) provides a six-year limitations period for an Attorney General fraud claim under Executive Law § 63(12) based on wrongs recognized before that statute’s enactment.
People Ex Rel. Schneiderman v. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC · filed 2016-12-13(1)
Thus, we concluded, the Attorney General’s “fraud claim under [Executive Law § ] 63 (12) ... is subject to the residual six-year statute of limitations in CPLR 213 (1)” because the section “does not create any liability nonexistent at common law, at least under the court’s equitable powers” (Trump at 418). We adhere to that determination here.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 213(2) limits breach of contract claims to those that accrued within six years before the action commenced.
Accredited Aides Plus, Inc. v. Program Risk Management, Inc. · filed 2017-01-05(2)
Although plaintiffs adequately pleaded the elements necessary for breach of contract claims as alleged against PRM and PRMCS (see Hyman v Schwartz, 127 AD3d 1281, 1283 [2015]; New York State Workers' Compensation Bd. v SGRisk, LLC, 116 AD3d 1148, 1153 [2014]), we limit the claims to those that accrued within the six-year limitations period before this action was commenced (see CPLR 213 [2]; Kosowsky v Willard Mtn., Inc., 90 AD3d 1127, 1131 [2011]; see also New York State Workers' Compensation Bd. v SGRisk, LLC, 116 AD3d at 1153).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
