Unjust Enrichment Restitution Statute Of Limitations in Montana

Montana’s statute of limitations for an unjust enrichment restitution claim is governed by Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-202(1), which sets a fixed period of three years. This statute applies to actions based on a legal or equitable obligation not otherwise covered by a specific limitations provision, including claims seeking restitution for benefits conferred without a contract. The three-year window begins running from the date the plaintiff discovers, or through reasonable diligence should have discovered, the facts giving rise to the obligation. The worked example below illustrates how the three-year period applies to a typical unjust enrichment scenario. To estimate the effect of this rule on a particular claim, the DocketMath calculator uses the verified three-year figure and the statutory trigger.
