  1. relation back

    Relation back is a legal term referring to a legal doctrine that allows an amended pleading to be deemed as filed from the time of the original pleading. This doctrine is typically used where the limitation period had expired after the original pleadings were filed but before the matters were included in an amended pleading. It essentially allows the changes or additions to have the same legal effect in terms of the timeline as the original lawsuit or claim.
