v. 1) to delay, suspend or hold off the effect of a statute. Examples a) a minor
is injured in an accident when he is 14 years old, and the state law (statute of
limitations) allows a person hurt by negligence two years to file suit for damages.
But for a minor the statute is "tolled" until he/she becomes 18 and decides whether
or not to sue. Thus the minor has two years after 18 to file suit. b) state law
allows 10 years to collect a judgment, but if the judgment debtor (party who owes
the judgment amount) leaves the state, the time is "tolled," so the judgment creditor
(party to whom judgment is owed) will have extra time to enforce the judgment equal
to the time the debtor was out of state. 2) a charge to pass over land, use a toll
road or turnpike, cross a bridge or take passage on a ferry.
