Exclusion of Certain Claims from Statute of Repose
This law changes how certain claims related to real property improvements are handled in Tennessee. Before this change, a four-year statute of repose applied to all such claims. Now, parties filing counterclaims, third-party complaints, or cross-claims about the design, planning, supervision, or construction of real property improvements are not subject to this four-year limit. This affects contractors, architects, engineers, and other professionals involved in real estate projects who may now have more time to file certain claims. The effective date is unknown.
