[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone explain to me why Blake’s lawyers didn’t bring this case in California state court.[/quote] Try reading up on rules about venue. Usually, but not in all cases, cases are filed where the harm was alleged by the plaintiff. She alleged harm on the set which was not in California, but in Jersey, I believe. People don't realize this, but non-federal law is state specific. So the laws would be interpreted based on the state where the harm was done. There are ways that you can argue for other venues, but the courts will look to the state that has the closest nexus to the harm alleged. I think she tried to move the nexus to a different state. But you have to have enough contacts of alleged harm in that state, or something like that. I dont know all of the details on this case like some others do.[/quote] I'm a lawyer and I don't think you are.[/quote]
