UPDATE: Do the COVID-19 Georgia Supreme Court Covid Emergency Orders Extend the Statute of Limitations for 122 Days for Civil Lawsuits? – by J. Robb Cruser

Do the COVID-19 Georgia Supreme Court Covid Emergency Orders Extend the Statute of Limitations for 122 Days for Civil Lawsuits?

Depends on date of loss and who you ask.

Date of Loss	Judge	Order Date	Order
August 14, 2018	Stephen G. Scarlett, Sr.	January 11, 2021	Yes
November 1, 2018	Tilman E. Self	April 29, 2021	No
December 17, 2019	Wesley B. Tailor	October 5, 2021	Yes

 

Until this is sorted out, the prudent path is to assert a Statute of Limitations defense. Stay tuned.
