OPINION
WEIS, Circuit Judge.
In this Title VII employment discrimination case, we conclude that when an insolvent employer sells a substantial portion of its assets to another corporation, that company may be subject to successor liability. We also decide that because substantial portions of Title VII are governed by lach-es, rather than a statute of limitations, the relation back provision of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c)(3) does not apply to the joinder of the successor corporation as an additional defendant.
Plaintiff was employed by defendant Correctional Services, Inc.…
