I would like to know the time status to sue a boat dealer for my deposit and expences incurred in puchasing a used boat from him. He is located in upstate Ny and I am in Brooklyn. He knowingly took my deposit, when he did not have proper ownership papers from the proior owner and there was a blanket lien on the boat. I had reported it to the dmv and the hearing was held in his home town. His lawyer made a statement to the judge and the judge said he could not have him make any restution because it was not under his jursidiction and all the charges against him were dropped with the charges against him stating everything on his part was a misunderstanding, and the matter should be taken to small claims court. My deposit and expences came to about 3000.00 or more.
I was told the statue of limitations was three years.
