How long do I have to sue over oral contract in Connecticut?

Answered for: Connecticut

Sec. 52-581. Action on oral contract to be brought within three years. (a) No action founded upon any express contract or agreement which is not reduced to writing, or of which some note or memorandum is not made in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith or his agent, shall be brought but within three years after the right of action accrues.

The statute states 3 years for oral contract. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.

This answer is true in Connecticut and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Connecticut.
