Trevino v. TFS Services LLC

**What the Case Was About** This case involved a contract dispute between Priority 1 Automotive and CDK Global, LLC. Priority 1 Automotive claimed that CDK Global breached their contract and was unfairly enriched at their expense. The company discovered the alleged wrongdoing in 2016 but didn't file their lawsuit until several years later. **What the Court Decided** The court ruled in favor of CDK Global and dismissed the case entirely. The judge found that Priority 1 Automotive waited too long to file their lawsuit. Under Maryland law, companies have only three years from when they discover a contract breach to take legal action. Since Priority 1 discovered the problem in 2016, they needed to file by 2019, but they missed this deadline. **Why This Matters for Workers** This case highlights the importance of time limits in legal disputes. Just like companies, workers also face strict deadlines when pursuing claims against employers. Whether it's wage theft, discrimination, or contract violations, waiting too long to file a complaint can result in losing the right to seek justice entirely. Workers should act promptly when they discover potential legal violations and seek guidance quickly to protect their rights.
