Statutes | Kalispel Tribe Law and Order Code Chapter 3 § 3-1 §§ 3-1.04 | 2020
If a person entitled to bring a civil action under this Code be, at the time the action occurred, either under the age of eighteen years, or insane, or imprisoned on a criminal charge, the time of such disability shall not be a part of the three-year limitation on the commencement of civil actions. Provided, however, that if the action is brought after the three-year limitation has expired, a written statement of reasonable cause must be given why the persons parent, guardian or other available representative did not bring the action in behalf of said disabled or incapacitated person within the three-year limitation. The statement shall be filed with the complaint and if attacked by defendant or other party to the suit the Tribal Court shall consider the reasonable cause given and in its discretion decide whether it is sufficient to justify the tolling of the statute of limitations. The decision of the Traditional Peacemakers Panel in this respect shall be final, subject to the aggrieved partys right to reconsideration as set forth in Chapter 1 of the Kalispel Law and Order Code.
