Equitable tolling is a legal doctrine that allows a statute of limitations to be extended when the claimant was prevented from filing in time, sometimes applicable in CBD-related claims.
In depth
Equitable tolling is a legal doctrine that allows a statute of limitations to be extended when the claimant was prevented from filing in time — for example, due to fraud, concealment, or disability.
For CBD cases, equitable tolling is rarely relevant because most CBD claims have no statute of limitations. However, it may apply to related claims — for example, claims for damages arising from wrongful denaturalization, or appeals of administrative denials where the applicant was not properly notified.
Equitable tolling is a discretionary doctrine — the court decides whether to apply it based on the specific facts of the case.
