A recent court ruling proves the adage - the devil is in the details. In Albemarle Corp. v. AstraZeneca UK Ltd., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over the Carolinas and three other states, found that a supply contract clause means a company cannot seek relief through U.S. courts. The appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling that dismissed a breach of contract lawsuit because the contract between the parties provided that it “shall be subject to English Law and the jurisdiction of the English High Court.”
