Legal aid time limits, is there one for civil cases?

I was told someone was presuing me via legal aid for a beauty treatment they were unhappy with this was six months ago, when I am likely to recieve a summons?

My insurance company refused to pay out twice to her, but she did get legal aid.

Assuming that this is in the UK, as the question has cropped up in our listings, the time limit for claims in negligence, which is what this would come under, is 3 years. Obviously, the more time that has passed since the incident itself, the more difficult it becomes for someone to prove their claim.

old.holly265 has the right answer, assuming you are in the UK. Just to add to this...

The first step in the litigation process will not be a summons or anything like that. First, the claimant's solicitor has to send you a "pre-action letter" laying out the nature of the compliant and giving you an opportunity to settle the matter without going to court. If you haven't received such a letter in six months. I suspect you won't be getting one.

In California it would be a minimum of 2 years for breach of contract (oral). I don't know where you are, but you probably still have some time to go before the statute of limitations (time limit to file a lawsuit) runs out. Your insurance company can probably tell you.

You would have to know if the claim will be malpractice or breach of contract, then just go to your States law section and find out when does her right to sue ends.
