Are arbitration agreements subject to a 6 year statute of limitations in NJ?
<p>Generally, breach of contract in New Jersey must be filed within six years of the date the cause of action accrues.</p>
<p>Does this apply to enforcement of arbitration agreements?</p>

<p>Yes. Remember the precedents from NJ that <a href="https://law.stackexchange.com/a/86807/18505">I cited in response to one of your recent posts</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>a state may not &quot;<em>subject an arbitration agreement to more burdensome requirements than those governing the formation of other contracts</em>&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This implies that the statute of limitations for arbitration agreements is the same as for contracts in general. If it were otherwise, that departure would constitute a greater burden on whichever party happens to oppose the enforcement of the arbitration agreement.</p>
