An Un-Fortune-Ate Decision: The Aftermath Of The Supreme Court's Eradication Of The Relation-Back Doctrine, Lawrence A. Epter
Florida State University Law Review
In Schiavone v. Fortune, the United States Supreme Court held that the "period provided by law for commencing the action" language of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c) includes the statutory limitation period, but not the time allowed for service of process. After demonstrating that this interpretation of Rule 15(c) is unreasonable, the author of this Article examines the various ways that federal courts have dealt with the decision. In light of the confusion and inequities which have resulted, the author suggests two ways of effecting a more just and sensible reading of Rule 15(c).
