A motion to dismiss action with prejudice of plaintiff's cause of action barred by statute of limitations is a legal procedure in Hawaii that aims to have a lawsuit or case dismissed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. This motion is filed by the defendant to request the court to dismiss the case permanently, with prejudice, on the grounds that the plaintiff's claim is time-barred and cannot be pursued any further. The statute of limitations refers to the legally specified time limit within which a plaintiff must file a lawsuit or bring a claim against the defendant. Once the allotted time has elapsed, the plaintiff loses their right to bring the claim to court. The purpose of the statute of limitations is to ensure that legal disputes are resolved in a timely manner, preventing potential unfairness due to faded memories or lost evidence. In Hawaii, there are various types of cases or causes of action where a motion to dismiss with prejudice based on the statute of limitations can be applicable. Some common scenarios include: 1. Personal Injury Claims: If a plaintiff fails to file a personal injury lawsuit within the time frame set by the statute of limitations, the defendant may file a motion to dismiss, arguing that the claim is time-barred and should be dismissed with prejudice. 2. Breach of Contract: Similarly, in cases involving breach of contract claims, if the plaintiff delays filing the lawsuit beyond the statute of limitations, the defendant may file a motion to dismiss, asserting that the cause of action is time-barred and should be dismissed. 3. Professional Malpractice: When a plaintiff alleges professional malpractice, such as medical, legal, or accounting negligence, the defendant may seek to have the case dismissed with prejudice if the statute of limitations has expired and the plaintiff did not file the claim in a timely manner. 4. Property Disputes: In cases relating to property disputes, such as quiet title actions or adverse possession claims, the defendant may argue that the plaintiff's claim is time-barred if it exceeds the statute of limitations. When filing a motion to dismiss with prejudice based on the statute of limitations, the defendant must present convincing evidence demonstrating that the time limit for the particular cause of action has lapsed. The court will evaluate the evidence and determine whether the motion is valid. If the motion is granted, the plaintiff's case will be dismissed, and they will no longer have the opportunity to pursue the claim. It is important for plaintiffs to be aware of the applicable statute of limitations for their specific claims and ensure that they file their lawsuits within the specified time period. Failure to do so may result in the defendant successfully filing a motion to dismiss with prejudice, barring the claim from proceeding further in court.A motion to dismiss action with prejudice of plaintiff's cause of action barred by statute of limitations is a legal procedure in Hawaii that aims to have a lawsuit or case dismissed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
