在诉讼时效法规方面，斐济依赖其普通法。除非立法有特别规定，否则斐济没 有对开始起诉罪行规定任何时效。2007 年《预防贿赂法案》第 31A 条规定，对 于所列举的某些罪行而言，投诉或举报时效为 2 年，其他罪行为 1 年。审议者 起初关切时效相对较短的法规，但所有相关当局均向他们保证，时效法规不会 妨碍及时有效地起诉。如果被指控的罪犯逃避司法处治是否可能中止诉讼的时 效法规问题未予述及。
Regarding the statute of limitations, Fiji relies on its common law. Unless specifically provided for in its legislation, Fiji does not impose any time limit for commencing prosecutions against offences. Section 31A of the Prevention of Bribery Promulgation 2007 establishes a 2-year limitations period from the time when the complaint or information arose for certain enumerated offences and a 1-year period for others. While the reviewers were initially concerned about the relatively short statutes of limitations, they received assurances from all relevant authorities that statues of limitations do not present impediments to effective and timely prosecutions. The possible suspension of the statute of limitations where an alleged offender has evaded the administration of justice is not addressed.
