The Palisades at Fort Lee Condominium Association, Inc., Plaintiff-Respondent v. 100 Old Palisade, LLC, Crescent…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the six‑year statute of limitations for construction‑defect claims under N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑1 accrues when the plaintiff knows or, through reasonable diligence, should know of an actionable claim against an identifiable defendant, applying the discovery rule, and that a successor owner stands in the shoes of prior owners for limitations purposes; it reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a Lopez hearing to determine the exact accrual dates.
