Falk v. Children's Hospital
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff filed suit against the hospital, alleging wage and labor claims. The trial court granted summary judgment for the hospital based on the ground that her claims were time-barred. The trial court rejected plaintiff's argument that the filing of a prior class action tolled her
limitations periods, under American Pipe & Construction Co. v. Utah. American Pipe held that, under certain circumstances, the filing of a class action tolls a limitations period for class members who file subsequent actions. The court found that American Pipe tolling applied to some of plaintiff's claims but not to others. Accordingly, the court affirmed in part and reversed in part.
