United States Supreme Court
Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. v. Regal-Beloit Corp., 08-1553
In an action based on the destruction of goods being shipped, the Ninth Circuit's reversal of the district court's dismissal of the action based on the fact that the parties' contract designated a Tokyo court as the venue for any dispute is reversed where, because the Carmack Amendment did not apply to a shipment originating overseas under a single through bill of lading, the parties- agreement to litigate these cases in Tokyo is binding.
