Is Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15 of the Tort Claims Act applicable to all statutes of limitation?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ernest W. Hahn, Inc v. Superior Court, 108 Cal.App.3d 567, 166 Cal.Rptr. 644 (Cal. App. 1980):

Assuming arguendo that the broad language of People ex rel Dept. of Transportation v. Superior Court, supra, can be interpreted as applying to all statutes of limitation and not just to the rather short limitation periods of the Tort Claims Act, we are of the opinion that the clear legislative policy embodied in Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15, and the specific language of that statute itself, places it beyond the pale of the holding in that case.
