Have I Run Out of Time to Sue my Perpetrator?
As of today, there are no time limits in Ontario for suing for sexual assault or abuse, domestic violence, or child abuse.
On March 9, 2016, the Ontario Limitations Act was amended to remove all limitation periods for civil claims “based on sexual assault.”
There are also no limitation periods for cases “based on any other misconduct of a sexual nature if, at the time of the misconduct, the person with the claim was a minor or if there is an authority, dependence or trust relationship.”
