United States Seventh Circuit

In a suit claiming fraudulent inducement into a contract for the purchase of a medical device, dismissal for improper venue is affirmed where plaintiff's election to affirm the contract and sue for damages did not necessarily make the alleged misrepresentation "part of" the contract, but the contract's forum selection clause was broad enough to apply to plaintiff's fraudulent inducement claim.
