Williamson Pounders Architects PC v. Tunica County Mississippi

X

Thank you for sharing!

Your article was successfully shared with the contacts you provided.
Before REAVLEY, CLEMENT, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

This suit is about choice of law. The choices are the law of Mississippi and that of Tennessee. We must choose because an architectural firm brought suit against a Mississippi county and its governing board under a contract that made Tennessee’s law controlling. The Mississippi district court granted summary judgment in favor of the county, finding the contract’s choice was overridden by the public policy of the State in which suit was brought. We AFFIRM.
