California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Miles v. Powers, G056486 (Cal. App. 2020):
For a fraud claim, the statute of limitations is three years pursuant to section 338. "This section effectively codifies the delayed discovery rule in connection with actions for fraud, providing that a cause of action for fraud '"is not to be deemed to have accrued until the discovery, by the aggrieved party, of the facts constituting the fraud or mistake."'" (Britton v. Girardi (2015) 235 Cal.App.4th 721, 733-734.)
