New Jersey context
Timing and forum can control the dispute
N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1 generally provides a six-year limitations period for many contractual claims, but important exceptions and different rules can apply—including contracts for the sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code. Arbitration clauses, forum-selection provisions, notice requirements, and contractual limitation periods should be reviewed immediately.
Illustrative matter—not a past result
A practical example
A service provider completes substantial work, but the customer withholds payment and argues that a milestone was missed. The review may include the written agreement, amendments, invoices, acceptance evidence, communications, claimed defects, notice and cure provisions, and the cost of finishing or correcting the work.
