BILINGUAL JUDGMENT - DISPUTE ON FORUM SELECTION CLAUSES ON THE AGREEMENT

A plaintiff generally has substantial discretion over its choice of venue. But that discretion may be limited by a valid forum selection clause. If a forum selection clause validly limits a plaintiff to a single forum, that clause renders a court that otherwise has jurisdiction into an improper venue for the plaintiff to sue. In the present case, the defendant has moved to dismiss for improper venue, contending that two of the plaintiff’s claims are subject to valid forum selection clauses mandating adjudication in courts of other states. The plain language of the relevant agreements forecloses Delaware courts from hearing those claims, and the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that enforcement of those clauses would be unreasonable or unjust under the circumstances. Those claims must be dismissed pursuant to the Court of Chancery Rule 12(b)(3).
