spacer image
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case to determine whether a state court has jurisdiction when plaintiffs and defendants aren't residents of the state and the activity that prompted the lawsuit didn't occur in the state. The case at hand is a railroad injury lawsuit filed against BNSF, a Delaware corporation whose principal place of business is Texas. "The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a Montana Supreme Court decision that ignores fundamental due process limits on the ability of state courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants," said a recent statement. BNSF is currently facing 33 lawsuits in the state of Montana.
