NEW OHIO CONTRACT
STATUTES OF LIMITATION

With COVID raging last year, you may not have heard that the limitations periods for contract breach actions in Ohio changed in 2021. As of June 16, 2021, O.R.C. § 2305.06 was amended to reduce the statute of limitations for claims based on a written contract from 8 to 6 years, and O.R.C. § 2305.07(A) was amended to reduce the statute of limitations for claims based on an oral contract from 6 to 4 years. Some of our Members probably remember the days when the written contract statute of limitations was 15 years and the oral contract period was 6 years. For more information on these key changes, including which types of contracts these amendments cover and whether they apply retroactively, join the Law Library for our live, online June 28th CLE entitled The Implications of Recent Changes to the Statute of Limitations Periods for Contracts in Ohio.
