                             CONFLICT OF LAWS





  Introduction

  D.N.M.2015.  Intro. Note quot. in case quot. in ftn. Female prisoner brought a § 1983 action against
  corporation that operated the correctional facility where she was imprisoned, alleging that defendant was
  vicariously liable for the sexual assault and battery that its correctional officer committed against
  plaintiff. This court denied defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings, holding that plaintiff
  sufficiently stated a claim for relief. The court relied on Restatement Second of Agency § 219(2)(d) to
  determine that plaintiff's aided-in-agency theory could proceed to trial. The court cited Restatement of
  Conflict of Laws' Introductory Note to point out that the original object of the Restatements was to
  present an orderly statement of the general common law. Pena v. Greffet, 110 F.Supp.3d 1103, 1116.



                                    CHAPTER 8. CONTRACTS

                              TOPIC   1. PLACE   OF CONTRACTING

  § 311. Place of Contracting

  D.Kan.2015. Cit. in disc. (general cite). California customer filed a proposed nationwide class action
  against Washington propane provider, asserting contract claims in connection with an oral agreement for
  the supply of propane. This court granted defendant's motion to compel arbitration pursuant to a written
  agreement that defendant mailed to plaintiff after the parties entered into the oral agreement, finding that
  plaintiff was bound by the written agreement, including its arbitration provision, under Kansas law. The
  court concluded that it would follow Kansas law, because it was not in conflict with the law of either
  California or Washington, but noted that Kansas followed the rule of lex loci contractus set forth in the
  first Restatement of Conflict of Laws, under which the law of Washington-where defendant accepted
  plaintiff's offer to purchase propane-governed the formation and scope of any dispute stemming from
  the oral agreement. Howard v. Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., 92 F.Supp.3d 1115, 1122.



                                      CHAPTER 9. WRONGS

                                         TOPIC   1. TORTS

  C.A.2, 2016. Cit. in ftn. §§ 377-390, which constitute all of Topic 1. Illinois and Florida residents who
  purchased subordinated debt securities issued by a Kazakhstan bank brought a securities-fraud claim
  against sovereign wealth fund of Kazakhstan that was the bank's majority owner, alleging that defendant
  misrepresented the value of the securities. The district court denied defendant's motion to dismiss. This
  court affirmed in part, holding that, under the commercial-activity exception to the Foreign Sovereign
  Immunities Act, defendant was not immune, because plaintiffs' claims were based on acts that caused a
