In this case, relative to the statute of limitations defense raised by the Defendants’ Preliminary Objections, the court noted that, generally, a statute of limitations defense is more properly raised as a new matter and not Preliminary Objections.
However, the Court confirmed that where a Plaintiff fails to file Preliminary Objections to strike a Preliminary Objection based upon a statue of limitations, the trial court may address the issues presented relative to a statute of limitations defense. As such, the Superior Court found that the trial court did not err when it addressed the merits of the statute of limitations issues presented in this case.
The Superior Court also found that the trial court’s calculation of time relative to the statute of limitations defense was also proper.
