Breach Oral Contract Statute Of Limitations in Michigan

Under Michigan’s MCL § 600.5813, a breach of an oral contract is subject to a three-year statute of limitations. This statute establishes the time frame within which a plaintiff must initiate a civil action for such a claim. The limitation period begins to run from the date the claim accrues, which generally occurs when the breach happens. The official source provides the precise statutory language and any applicable exceptions. The verified figure of three years is applied uniformly under this rule. The worked example below demonstrates how this limitation period is calculated from the date of breach. To estimate the remaining time for a specific situation, use the DocketMath calculator with the relevant dates and governing statute.

Governing authority

In Michigan, the statute of limitations rule is set by MCL § 600.5813. The verified packet cites MCL § 600.5813 (https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-5813).

Deadline example

For a Michigan breach oral contract limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites MCL § 600.5813 (https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-5813).

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.
