Western Dermatology Consultants, P.c. v. Vitalworks, Inc.

Summary

The court held that New Mexico law, rather than Connecticut law, governs the plaintiff's unfair trade practices claim because New Mexico has the most significant relationship to the parties and occurrence. The appeal was not moot because the factual findings underlying the claim remained available despite the reversal of other counts. Because the trial occurred under Connecticut law, the court reversed the appellate disposition of the unfair trade practices claim and remanded for a new trial under New Mexico law, affirming the judgment in all other respects.
