                             CONFLICT OF LAWS





  Generally

  D.N.M.2014.  Cit. generally in disc. Owners of royalty interests burdening lessee's working interest in
  oil-and-gas leases in Colorado and New Mexico filed a putative class action, asserting contract and other
  claims against lessee and bringing an unjust-enrichment claim against transporter that processed natural
  gas liquids (NGLs) for lessee and against marketer that sold NGLs on behalf of lessee and transporter,
  alleging that defendants' combined conduct resulted in systemic underpayment of royalties. This court
  granted transporter and marketer's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims for unjust enrichment, holding,
  among  other things, that it would apply New Mexico law as the law of the forum state because there was
  no actual conflict between Colorado and New Mexico law. The court noted that, although New Mexico
  had traditionally followed the original Restatement of Conflict of Laws, the New Mexico Supreme
  Court had been willing to follow the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws in certain cases, such as in
  multi-state class-action cases in which the laws of the states involved actually conflicted, because the
  original Restatement of Conflict of Laws was particularly ill-suited for the complexities present in
  multistate class actions. Abraham v. WPX Energy Production, LLC, 20 F.Supp.3d 1244, 1259, 1266.

  Pa.Super.2015. Cit. generally in journal article quot. in ftn. New York resident who was a chaperone on
  a rafting trip in Pennsylvania brought a negligence action against Pennsylvania corporation that operated
  the trip, alleging that defendant was liable for injuries plaintiff suffered when her raft hit a rock and she
  was ejected from the raft. The trial court denied both parties' motions for summary judgment. This court
  affirmed in part, holding that the trial court did not err in applying Pennsylvania law. The court pointed
  out that Pennsylvania applied a variety of approaches, including that of the Restatement of Conflict of
  Laws, to a choice-of-law analysis. After applying a contract choice-of-law framework, the court
  determined that Pennsylvania had a greater interest in the application of its laws than New York,
  because Pennsylvania was the place where the accident occurred, and because a release of liability
  signed by plaintiff was executed for the purpose of protecting defendant, a Pennsylvania business.

                                       CHAPTER 5. STATUS

                                       TOPIC   1. MARRIAGE

  § 134. Marriage Contrary  to Public Policy

  C.A.6, 2014. Cit. in sup. In actions that were consolidated on appeal, same-sex couples sued various
  states, alleging, among other things, that defendants' failure to recognize gay marriages conducted in
  other states violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the United States Constitution.
  The district courts sided with plaintiffs in each case. Reversing, this court held that the Constitution did
  not prohibit a state from denying recognition to same-sex marriages conducted in other states. The court
