Is the statute of limitations a ground for objection to a pleading?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Coal. for Clean Air v. City of Visalia, F062983 (Cal. App. 2012):
Code of Civil Procedure section 430.30, subdivision (a) provides that when "any ground for objection to a complaint ... appears on the face thereof, ... the objection on that ground may be taken by a demurrer to the pleading." The statute of limitations is a "ground for objection to a complaint" for purposes of this provision, and therefore may be raised in a demurrer. (Cochran v. Cochran (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 488, 493.)
