Statute of Limitations for Tortious Interference with Expectancy

The relevant statute of limitationsfor tortious interference with an expectancy is the one applicable to claims torecover property. 

In Bjork v. O’Meara, 986 N.E.2d 626 (Ill. 2013), theSupreme Court of Illinois held that the statute of limitations applicable toactions for tortious interference with an expectancy is the six-year statute applicableto actions to recover property and not the six-month statute applicable to willcontests.
