What is the statute of limitations for breach of a contract that is not based on a written agreement?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Portman v. New Line Cinema Corp., B233669 (Cal. App. 2013):
The statute of limitations for breach of a contract that is not based on a written agreement is two years, whether the agreement is oral or implied in fact. (Code Civ. Proc., 339.) A claim for breach of oral contract is also subject to the delayed discovery rule. It accrues when "the aggrieved party discovers, or should discover, the existence of the cause of action." (Seelenfreund v. Terminix of Northern Cal., Inc. (1978) 84 Cal.App.3d 133, 136.)
