Ucc Sale Of Goods Statute Of Limitations in North Dakota

Under North Dakota’s adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code, the statute of limitations for a breach of a contract for the sale of goods is set by N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-16. That statute establishes a six-year limitation period within which a claim for breach must be initiated. The period runs from the date the cause of action accrues, which generally occurs when the breach happens, regardless of when the aggrieved party discovers it. The official text of the statute, available at the North Dakota Legislative Branch website, provides the full legal detail. A worked example below illustrates the application of this six-year period.
