California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Superior Court In and For Merced County, 232 Cal.App.2d 808, 43 Cal.Rptr. 209 (Cal. App. 1965):
The question whether the disability of minority provided by Code of Civil Procedure section 352 is applicable to specific limitations of action contained within the framework of a statute which provides a cause of action, is not a matter of first impression in California. The leading case is Artukovich v. Astendorf, 21 Cal.2d 329, 131 P.2d 831, which concerned a statute providing for a cause of action against certain governmental[232 Cal.App.2d 810] entities. The statute specified time limitations for the filing of claims as a condition precedent to bringing an action. No distinction was made between minors and adults. The contention made on behalf of the minor in Artukovich, as in the instant case, was that the disability of minority provided by Code of Civil Procedure section 352 tolled the specific statute of limitations expressed in the statute.
