National Union Fire Ins. Co. v. American Eurocopter Corp., et al., No. 11-10798 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseNational Union brought this suit against AEC, seeking contribution to National Union's settlement of claims arising from the crash of a helicopter operated by National Union's insured. On appeal, National Union challenged the Texas district court's choice-of-law ruling and the Hawaii district court's refusal to allow jurisdictional discovery regarding AEC's Hawaii contacts before transferring the case. Because the court lacked jurisdiction to hear appeals of the Hawaii district court's orders, the court agreed with the Texas district court's choice-of-law ruling, and affirmed the judgment.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on August 31, 2012.
