Sec. 42a-2A-715. Statute of limitations.

      Sec. 42a-2A-715. Statute of limitations. (a) An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within four years after the right of action has accrued. Except in a consumer lease or an action for indemnity, the original lease agreement may reduce the period of limitations to not less than one year.

      (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section, a right of action accrues when the act or omission on which the default or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved party. A right of action for indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party.

      (c) If an action commenced within the applicable period of limitation is terminated but a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of warranty or indemnity is available, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limitation and within six months after the termination of the first action unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure to prosecute.

      (d) This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations and does not apply to a right of action that accrued before October 1, 2002.
