Phoenix Acquisition Corp. v. Campcore, Inc

In Phoenix Acquisition Corp. v. Campcore, Inc., 81 NY2d 138 (1993) the Court of Appeals found that the statute of limitations for an action to recover on a promissory note payable on demand accrues at the time of its execution. However, in an action to recover on a promissory note payable in installments, "separate causes of action accrued as installments of the loan indebtedness became due and payable"; thus, the statute of limitations begins to run on the date each installment becomes due and is defaulted upon, unless the debt is accelerated. (Id. at 141.)
