SIE practice questionhardArbitration
Under FINRA arbitration rules, claims must generally be filed within what time period from the occurrence or event giving rise to the dispute?
- ASix years✓ Correct answer
- BTen years
- COne year
- DThree years
Explanation
Why A — Six years
FINRA Rule 12206 contains a six-year eligibility rule, meaning no claim shall be eligible for arbitration if six or more years have elapsed from the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. This is not a statute of limitations (which is a legal defense) but rather an eligibility requirement. If the six-year period has passed, the claim is ineligible regardless of the merits. The parties may still have other legal remedies outside of FINRA arbitration, subject to applicable state statutes of limitations.
