How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the plaintiffs’ allegations that the purchases “took place in the United States,” coupled with contract notes indicating the purchase occurred in the United States, was sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss
• determining non-signatory defendants to be closely related where they were affiliates of the signatory hired to carry out its contractual obligations
• allowing a non-signatory to bind a signatory where they are “sufficiently close so that the non-party’s enforcement of the forum selection clause is foreseeable by virtue of the relationship between the signatory and the party sought to be bound.”
• plaintiff's “right to sue on these [fraud] claims does not originate from, and therefore ‘arise out of the [agreement],” but rather from the defendants’ “extra-contractual duties” to make accurate representations
• “The term ‘related to’ is typically defined more broadly [than the phrase ‘arising out of’] and is not necessarily tied to the concept of a causal connection.” (quoting Coregis Ins. Co. v. Am. Health Found., Inc., 241 F.3d 123, 128 (2d Cir. 2001)
• “The term ‘related to’ is typically defined more broadly [than the phrase ‘arising out of’] and is not necessarily tied to the concept of a causal connection.” (quoting Coregis Ins. Co. v. Am. Health Found., Inc., 241 F.3d 123, 128 (2d Cir. 2001)
