The court granted mandamus relief to DuPont and Daikin because Gadsden Water's claims accrued no later than September 2016 and were therefore barred by the applicable statutes of limitations.

The court declined to treat the alleged settlement-related double recovery as a standing defect because that issue concerned the viability of the claims rather than subject-matter jurisdiction.
