Flagcan i toll the sols due to a legal disability?this is a civil case. for example damage was caused to my law school file application by a certain company in 2005 and is still on my file now and is permanant until i sue. what do i do, do i need to ask for a sol tolling? or am i still witing my sol's because its ongoing?
Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Federal law applies, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, the statute of limitations for defamation is one year. It is unlikely that any disability would toll the statute based on the facts you present, but more facts would be needed to provide a more accurate response. The statute's start date is not 'ongoing' unless the slander or libel is republished somehow. You would be better served finding a way to show the law school that the defamatory information is untrue.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me at the below address(es) or telephone number.
