Overview

The Manual identifies and organizes time limits imposed for civil claims by the Minnesota Statutes. This Manual covers statutes of limitation, statutes that direct action by a party during the pendency of a civil lawsuit, and statutes that direct a person or an entity to take a certain action within a specific time. The Manual does not, however, address time limits for administrative actions or criminal procedure. Instead, it is meant to be a Manual that is used by civil litigators, and thus addresses time limitations that would bar a civil litigant from seeking relief in the Minnesota courts.The Manual covers time limitations in the Minnesota Statutes, as well as in the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure, General Rules of Practice in the District Courts, and the Minnesota Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure. The Manual organizes the time limits by statute and rule numbers. Thus, the time limits for a specific matter can be verified by using the statute number, if known, or by referring to the Manual's subject index.Although the Manual provides a first step in identifying and understanding statutory time limits, reading the Manual cannot substitute for reading the original statute in full and checking for legislative changes that have occurred since the Manual's publication. It also does not cover sources of information outside the Minnesota Statutes. Time limits imposed by administrative agencies, and city and county ordinances may also apply and must be checked.Finally, using the Manual is not a substitute for checking case law, which expands upon and interprets many of the statutes in this Manual. These cases are critical in understanding and interpreting statutory deadlines, and therefore, these cases must be thoroughly researched.
