Question

John Redmond was not paid for trim carpentry work that he did for Brenda Knighton in her home. Ms. Knighton does not dispute that Redmond did the work, but she says that he waited too long to file the suit because the time for suit is measured from the time the work began, which was over 4 years ago, and not from the time she failed to pay, which was two years ago. The statute of limitations in their state is four years. Which of the following is a correct statement? a. The case must be dismissed because of the statute of limitations. b. The case can be decided on a summary judgment motion. c. The case qualifies for a directed verdict. d. The case can be dismissed on a judgment on the pleadings.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Although she waited long it did not pass the status of limitation just yet it's 4 year exact. But two years ago was she failed to pay saying that the case is still ongoing. Plus it takes time to do work and most people don't pay workers before the job is done.
