United States First Circuit
Rafael Rodriguez Barril, Inc. v. Conbraco Indus., Inc., 09-2163
In a contract dispute, district court's finding that a forum selection clause in the contract was not displaced by Puerto Rico's Sales Representatives Act of 1990, in dismissing the suit is affirmed as, the substantive issues as to choice of law, as well as the merits of the contract termination controversy, are to be resolved in the forum chosen by the parties. Here, the forum selection clause in the agreement fixes North Carolina, and the forum selection clause is not forbidden by Law 21.
