Global Satellite Communication Co. v. Starmill U.K. Ltd.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that forum selection clause did not restrict jurisdiction where it mandated venue in a particular county, but did not specify state or federal courts
• suggesting that “any contractual provision mandating a particular locality for venue” would be a consideration in applying a-locaí rule that provided for intra-district transfers “in the interest of justice”
• rejecting the argument that district court’s local rule which could potentially permit trial outside of the specified county warranted interpreting the clause to forbid removal
• finding the phrase \submit to the jurisdiction\ of the chosen venue \simply ambiguous\ and construing the forum selection clause against the drafter
• finding a clause placing venue in a specific county did not automatically restrict litigation to the state court venue where the action was brought
• relying on the use of the “imperative” “shall” to conclude that a forum selection clause was mandatory
