We note that the rule was relied upon in one Connecticut federal court opinion, and in one Superior Court opinion. See West Haven School District v. Owens-Coming Fiberglass Corp., 721 F. Sup. 1547, 1555 (D. Conn. 1988) (applying American Pipe & Construction Co. to determine whether plaintiffs complaint arising under Connecticut law was filed within applicable three year statute of limitations period for products liability complaints); Campbell v. Board of Education, 36 Conn. Sup. 357, 364 n.6, 423 A.2d 900 (1980) ("American Pipe & Construction Co. v. Utah, [supra] 414 U.S. 538, established that the timeliness of the claims of class members is measured' as of the date of the complaint, not the date that the class was certified. That is, the statute is tolled from the time the complaint was filed until the decision on class certification is made.”).
