Ex parte Nicholson Manufacturing Ltd.
Annotate this CaseNicholson Manufacturing Limited petitioned for a writ of mandamus to direct the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court to enter a summary judgment in its favor on the ground that Gerald Templeton's substitution of Nicholson for a fictitiously named defendant was made after the expiration of the applicable statutory limitations period and did not "relate back" to the filing of the original complaint.
