https://definitions.uslegal.com/t/tolling-period/

A statute of limitations sets forth the maximum time after an event that legal proceedings based on that event may be initiated. Once the time allowed for a case by a statute of limitations runs out, any further litigation is foreclosed. However, limitations are tolled under certain circumstances. Tolling will prevent the time for filing suit from running while the condition exists. This is the tolling period. For example, if the aggrieved party (plaintiff) is a minor the running of limitations is tolled until the minor attains majority. There may be a number of factors that will affect the tolling of a statute of limitations. In many cases, the discovery of the harm starts the statute running.

okres wstrzymania bądź zawieszenia biegu terminu przedawnienia

Tolling is a legal doctrine that allows for the pausing or delaying of the running of the period of time set forth by a statute of limitations, such that a lawsuit may potentially be filed even after the statute of limitations has run. Although grounds for tolling the statute of limitations vary by jurisdiction, common grounds include:[1][2]

The plaintiff was a minor at the time a cause of action accrued.
The plaintiff has been deemed mentally incompetent.
The plaintiff has been convicted of a felony and is imprisoned.
The defendant has filed a bankruptcy case triggering a stay of other lawsuits.
The defendant is not physically within a certain jurisdiction (state or country).
The parties were engaged in good-faith negotiations to resolve a dispute without litigation when the statute of limitations expired.
Tolling may occur under a statute that specifically provides for the tolling of the statute of limitations during specified circumstances. It may also take the form of equitable tolling, where the court applies common law principles of equity to extend the time for the filing of a document.
