Re: Jurisdiction & Venue
In the business world, contracts specifying
venue and applicable law of a particular state
are generally enforceable, although such contracts may
sometimes be set aside on public policy grounds.. In some states, such
contracts can conflict with the consumer code. I would
need a lot more detail on exactly what sorth of contract this
was to assist further.
