What is the current state of the law on actual knowledge and constructive knowledge?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from L.I. Head Start Child Dev. Servs., Inc. v. Econ. Opportunity Comm'n of Nassau Cnty., Inc., 710 F.3d 57 (2nd Cir. 2013):

Under the three-year limitations period in subsection (2), actual knowledge is strictly construed and constructive knowledge will not suffice. See Caputo v. Pfizer, Inc., 267 F.3d 181, 19394 (2d Cir.2001). While a plaintiff need not have knowledge of the relevant law, he must have knowledge of all facts necessary to constitute a claim. Id. at 193 (internal citation omitted).

We review the question of the application of the relevant statute of limitations ... de novo. Novella v. Westchester Cnty., 661 F.3d 128, 143 (2d Cir.2011).
