How Long Can You Wait To File A Defamation Lawsuit?

Posted on November 20, 2008 by Adrianos Facchetti
In California, you have one year from the date of publication in which to file an action for libel and slander.  Code of Civil Procedure § 340(c).  That's right.  Only one year.  Lawyers call this a "statute of limitations."  Therefore, do not wait to file a defamation claim or you may lose the right to do so.
