What is the statute of limitations for a plaintiff who alleges fraudulent concealment, professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty against Brewer?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Bent v. Brewer, B283400 (Cal. App. 2019):

He alleges three causes of action against Brewer: fraudulent concealment, professional negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty. "An action for relief on the grounds of fraud or mistake must be commenced within three years. However, such action is not deemed accrued 'until the discovery, by the aggrieved party, of the facts constituting the fraud or mistake.' (Code Civ. Proc., 338, subd. (d).) The courts interpret discovery in this context to mean not when the plaintiff became aware of the specific wrong alleged, but when the plaintiff suspected or should have suspected that an injury was caused by wrongdoing. The statute of limitations begins to run when the plaintiff has information which would put a reasonable person on inquiry" (Kline v. Turner (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 1369, 1373-1374.)
