Series 63 practice questionmediumStatute of Limitations Edge Case
A client purchases a security on January 1, 2022, and discovers a material omission on March 1, 2024. The client files suit on February 28, 2025. Is the suit timely?
- AYes, because it is within three years of purchase
- BYes, because it is within two years of discovery
- CNo, because it is not within three years of purchase✓ Correct answer
- DNo, because it is not within two years of discovery
Explanation
Why C — No, because it is not within three years of purchase
The suit is not timely. Three years after the January 1, 2022 sale was January 1, 2025. Although February 28, 2025 is within two years after the March 1, 2024 discovery, it is after the earlier three-year sale deadline.
