Chandler v. Roosevelt

Summary

The court held that the one-year limitations period in A.R.S. § 12-821 does not apply to an action brought by one public entity against another because the statute did not expressly or by necessary implication abrogate the nullum tempus doctrine. The court therefore concluded that Chandler's contract claims were not time-barred, vacated the court of appeals' decision, reversed the superior court's judgment, and directed entry of judgment for Chandler declaring the agreement valid and enforceable.
