As we learned last week, businesses are often engaged in commerce across State lines, and rarely are businesses (even small, local businesses) solely “doing business” in their own state. So, as a business manager, its important for you to have an understanding of potential multi-State legal issues.
For this week’s assignment, we will focus on Tort Law as it pertains to a multi-State scenario. You are encouraged to use external research for this assignment. Here is the context:
Context
Bernie, a Vermont resident, is sued by Donald, a New York resident, for a tort related to negligence. The case is in state court.
Questions
Why would a plaintiff in New York with a case against a Vermont defendant prefer to have the case heard in New York?
How can a New York Court have jurisdiction over a Vermont defendant?
After a New York state court trial in which Bernie appears and vigorously defends himself, the New York state court awards Donald $1.5M dollars in damages for his tort claim. In trying to collect from Bernie in Vermont, Donald must have the Vermont court certify the New York judgment. Why, ordinarily, must the Vermont court do so?
Include at least three
external references to support your claims. Use APA format. Include a References page at the end
