Supreme Court of Colorado

In Re : Christopher Nickerson D/b/a Christopher Alan, Plaintiff v. Network Solutions, LLC; and Web.com Group, Inc…

December 8, 2014339 P.3d 526

Summary

The court held that a contractual forum selection clause does not eliminate Colorado courts' subject matter or personal jurisdiction and therefore could not render the default judgment void. The trial court properly rejected the defendants' excusable-neglect argument but erred by vacating the judgment on jurisdictional grounds. The court directed reinstatement of the default and remanded for an evidentiary hearing to determine damages.
