- “Considering the actual language of TUFTA section 24.010 and the Commissioners’ comments to UFTA section 9 on which it is modeled, we agree . . . that it is a statute of repose, rather than a statute of limitations.”
- “While statutes of limitations operate procedurally to bar the enforcement of a right, a statute of repose 22 takes away the right altogether, creating a substantive right to be free of liability after a specified time.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
