A counterclaim to a breach of contract case—involving a Wayne-based company, a former executive and employment agreements requiring litigation of disputes in three different states—must be handled in Montgomery County, a judge has ruled.

In response to MTPCS's appeal, Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas Judge Thomas P. Rogers wrote in his opinion that the Montgomery County court had jurisdiction over the counterclaim case filed by former MTPCS executive Charles Hollis.

MTPCS, doing business as Cellular One, was the plaintiff in the underlying case, and Hollis was the defendant. Third-party defendants in the case included Jonathan Foxman, Daniel E. Hopkins, MTPCS Holdings and a series of third-party LLCs.
