In Schiavone v. Fortune, 477 U.S. 21 (1986), a complaint was filed before the applicable statute of limitations expired. The plaintiffs mistakenly labeled Fortune as the defendant and mailed the complaint to Fortune's offices at the Time Life Building in New York City. Fortune, however, was the name of an internal division of Time, Incorporated. Time refused service because it was not named as defendant. The plaintiffs then amended their complaint to name Time as a defendant, but the amendment occurred after the statute of limitations had run. The plaintiffs argued that the amended complaint related back since the original complaint was filed before the statute of limitations had expired and was mailed within the time allowed for service of process. The Supreme Court disagreed and held that in order for an amended complaint to relate back, the party to be added must receive notice within the applicable statute of limitations period.
