Supreme Court Report

Supreme Court of the United States · Official docket →

New World International, Inc., et al. v. Ford Global Technologies, LLC, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 2017-1956 · judgment March 13, 2018

Certiorari denied · October 1, 2018
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–8%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a Federal Circuit decision below, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Whether jurisdictional defects in a first suit dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction can be cured in a second suit by alleging facts that were known before the first suit was dismissed but that occurred after the first suit was filed.
