Leap Year Doesn't Shorten Statute

ADVERTISEMENTS

Leap Year Doesn't Shorten Statute of Limitations
New York Law Journal

On March 22, 2007, right on the cusp of a five-year statute of limitations, Jerry Brooks was indicted for allegedly lying on forms he needed to win a contract. His attorney argued that the period for bringing charges had expired because 2004 was a leap year. A New York judge has rejected that idea -- to the disappointment but not the surprise of the attorney, who said, "This is something that wasn't really litigated or touched on before, so we thought we'd give it a shot."
