Tribeca Asset Management, Inc. v. Ancla International, S.A.

Summary

The court held that Article 7 of the parties' agreement is a Florida choice-of-law provision, not a forum-selection clause. Because the agreement did not provide for arbitration in Florida, the Florida Arbitration Code provision invoked by the Third District could not establish personal jurisdiction over the nonresident defendant. The court quashed the Third District's decision and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
