Currently, Nova Scotia does not have standardized limitation
periods in its Limitation of Actions Act. The
limitation period for an action for wrongful or constructive
dismissal (contract) in Nova Scotia is set out
in section 2(1)(e) of the Act and provides a six year
limitation period:
2(1) The actions mentioned in this Section shall be commenced
within and not after the times respectively mentioned in such
Section, that is to say:
...
(e) all actions grounded upon any lending, or contract,
expressed or implied, without specialty, or upon any award where

execution, all actions for direct injuries to real or personal
property, actions for the taking away or conversion of property,
goods and chattels, actions for libel, malicious prosecution and
