Does the statute of limitations apply to summons in civil cases?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Cal. Clean Energy Comm. v. Cnty. of Placer, C072680 (Cal. App. 2015):

We conclude the summons issue is forfeited for failure to raise it in the trial court. In civil cases, the statute of limitations is an affirmative defense that is forfeited if not appropriately invoked in the trial court. (Adams v. Paul (1995) 11 Cal.4th 583, 597.)
