Step-by-step solutions +
In Quebec, the general rule for prescription (limitation period) for breach of contract is three years or less from the time the offense occurred. This means that a creditor must initiate a lawsuit within this timeframe; otherwise, the right to sue may be lost. Understanding this limitation is crucial for both creditors and debtors in managing their legal rights.
