United States Eighth Circuit
St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins. Co. v. Bldg. Constr. Enter., Inc, 07-2246
In an insurance coverage dispute, a district court's choice-of-law determination is affirmed where the district court correctly determined that: 1) under Missouri law, the multi-factored test contained in Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws section 188 controlled and required examination of the states' contacts with the present case; and 2) Missouri was the state with more substantial contacts in the underlying case.
