In the alternative, the petitioner contends that because the applicable statutes are silent with respect to any time limit within which to sue, CPLR 213 should be triggered to set a six-year statute of limitations. CPLR 213 (1) provides that a six-year statute of limitations applies in any “action for which no limitation is specifically prescribed by law.” The court rejects this argument as well. Most statutes do not contain specific statutory limitation provisions within them and it is for the court to decide, based on the nature of the proceeding, the appropriate time limit to apply.
