"any period of time within which any step must be taken in any proceeding in Ontario") for the duration of the coronavirus crisis.

C. LIMITATIONS ACT (ONTARIO)
The limitations law of Ontario underwent a thorough and exhaustive revision about twenty years ago and is now mostly dealt with under the Limitations Act SO 2002 [this is a current version of the Act, not necessarily a 15 March 2020 version]. With those amendments, the general limitation period governing Ontario lawsuits was reduced to two years (from a prior six year limitation).
