Ucc Sale Of Goods Statute Of Limitations in Michigan
Under Michigan’s Uniform Commercial Code, the statute of limitations for a breach of a sales contract for goods is set by MCL § 600.5813.

The verified figure of three years applies uniformly to actions arising under the UCC’s Article 2 sales provisions, as codified in Michigan law. The official source at the Michigan Legislature website provides the exact text of the statute, including any accrual rules and exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how this three-year period operates in a typical sales transaction.
