Statutes | Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians Tribal Code Title 2 Chapter 2-2 ยง 2-2-21 | 2019
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, a civil action must be commenced within two (2) calendar years of the time the cause of action accrued.
(b) Failure to commence an action within the time provided is a defense that may be waived by a party if not raised in the partys first pleading.
(c) Unless otherwise provided by statute, the period of limitation begins when the claim or cause of action accrues. Lack of knowledge of the claim or cause of action, or of its accrual, by the party to whom it has accrued does not postpone the beginning of the period of limitation.
(d) Where a right exists but a demand is necessary to entitle a person to maintain an action, the time within which the action must be commenced must be computed from the time when the demand is made, except that where the right grows out of the receipt or detention of money or property by an agent, trustee, attorney, or other person acting in a fiduciary capacity, the time must be computed from the time when the person having the right to make the demand has actual knowledge of the facts upon which that right depends.
(e) The period of limitation does not begin on any claim or cause of action for an injury to person or property until the facts constituting the claim have been discovered or, in the exercise of due diligence, should have been discovered by the injured party if:
(1) The facts constituting the claim are by their nature concealed or selfconcealing or
(2) Before, during, or after the act causing the injury, the defendant has taken action which prevents the injured party from discovering the injury or its cause.
