SJC EXTENDS ORDER TOLLING

STATUTES OF LIMITATION

The SJC (the “Court”) has issued a Second Updated Order Regarding Court Operations Under the Exigent Circumstances Created by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic effective June 1, 2020 (the “Order”), repealing and replacing the Updated Order Regarding Court Operations Under the Exigent Circumstances Created by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic issued on April 27, 2020 (the “April 27 Order”).

The Order tolls all statutes of limitation from March 17, 2020 through June 30, 2020. Accordingly, if your title examination discloses a lien that is due to expire between March 16, 2020 and July 1, 2020, please contact one of the Massachusetts Underwriters for assistance.

The Court may issue further Orders regarding these matters as necessary to address circumstances arising from this pandemic. The Order is effective June 1, 2020 and shall remain in effect until further order of the Court.
