New York Court of Appeals

Mark J. Boss v. American Express…

February 9, 20066 N.Y.3d 242

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of the plaintiffs’ suit, holding that the forum selection clause requiring litigation in Minnesota is valid and enforceable. The Court also held that the Minnesota statute of limitations does not constitute a grave difficulty that would justify refusing to enforce the clause.
