Vivendi S.E., et al. v. EPAC Technologies Ltd.
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of New York, No. 2023-843 · judgment April 25, 2024
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Does the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause permit the exercise of personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant lacking any contacts with the forum state, on the sole basis that the defendant’s “close relationship” with a third-party signatory to a contractual forum-selection clause renders litigation in that forum foreseeable, given that this Court has repeatedly held that foreseeability alone is inadequate for jurisdiction?
