ANNOTATION
Neither § 13-80-110 nor the Uniform Conflict of Laws - Limitations Act (UCL-LA) is more specific than the other. Because each statute uses different factors to assign a limitations period, the court is prevented from directly comparing them in order to read one as an exception to the other. Jenkins v. Pan. Canal Ry. Co., 208 P.3d 238 (Colo. 2009).
Because it was enacted more recently, § 13-80-110 and not the UCL-LA, controls. Based on the general assembly's prescribed rules of statutory construction, because the conflicts between the statutes cannot be resolved on specificity and the borrowing statute is the more recent enactment, the borrowing statute applies to the plaintiffs' claims. Jenkins v. Pan. Canal Ry. Co., 208 P.3d 238 (Colo. 2009).
