Breach Written Contract Statute Of Limitations in Arkansas

Under Arkansas law, a claim for breach of a written contract must be brought within the time limit set by Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-111. That statute, accessible through the official source, establishes a three-year period for filing such an action. The clock typically begins when the breach occurs or when the plaintiff discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, the breach. The verified figure of three years applies uniformly to written contracts, though the statute provides certain exceptions that may alter the calculation. The worked example below demonstrates how the three-year period applies in a straightforward scenario. To determine how these rules affect a specific situation, users should consult the DocketMath calculator, which applies the governing authority to their own dates and facts.

Governing authority

In Arkansas, the statute of limitations rule is set by Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-111. The verified packet cites Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-111 (https://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/title-16/subtitle-5/chapter-56/subchapter-1/section-16-56-111/).

Deadline example

For a Arkansas breach written contract limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-111 (https://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/title-16/subtitle-5/chapter-56/subchapter-1/section-16-56-111/).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 3 years.
• The example deadline is 2027-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.
