Es erklärt, wann eine fruchtlos verstrichene Frist zur Wiedereinsetzung führt. Dazu ist eine Hemmung notwendig, die nicht aus dem Common Law stammt, sondern aus dem Equity-Recht:
Equitable tolling is generally appropriate in Title VII cases only when "the defendant has actively misled the plaintiff; when the plaintiff 'in some extraordinary way' was prevented from asserting her rights; or when the plaintiff timely asserted her rights in the wrong forum." Seitzinger v. Reading Hosp. and Med. Ctr., 165 F.3d 236, 240 (3d Cir. 1999) (citations omitted). Plaintiff bears the burden to show that equitable tolling is warranted. Podobnik v. U.S. Postal Serv., 409 F.3d 584, 591 (3d Cir. 2005). AaO 2.
