Ex Parte Jewels by Park Lane, Inc. in Re: Jennifer Miller v. Kathy Cassidy

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to dismiss the plaintiff's action under Rule 12(b)(3) because the outbound forum‑selection clause in the director agreement made venue improper and the plaintiff’s fraud claim did not specifically target that clause. The court held that the clause was enforceable as the plaintiff failed to show unreasonable inconvenience or fraud directed at the clause itself.
