“"Limitation is suspended by the filing of a suit because the suit warns the defendant to collect and preserve his (sic) evidence in reference to it. When suit is filed in a Federal Court under the rules, the defendant knows that the whole transaction described in it will be fully sifted, by amendment if need be, and that the form of action or the relief prayed for or the law relied on will not be confined to the first statements."”
20 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The Rules of Civil Procedure have abandoned the term ‘cause of action’ and substituted ‘claim, ’ and they have abolished the old forms of action as separate measures of legal rights.' A suit is now brought on a claim, stated in simple and u'ntechnical language. The suit potentially involves the whole transaction which it identifies, and is intended to reach and settle the rights which arise out of the transaction. To this end, amendment is freely allowed.””
