                             CONFLICT OF LAWS



  Generally

  D.N.M.2018. Cit. generally in sup. In a class action filed by female employees against federal contractor
  that employed them to work on a military base, this court granted contractor's motion to dismiss
  employees' claims alleging gender discrimination in violation of state law, holding that the federal-
  enclave doctrine applied to bar state employment-discrimination claims when the employees worked and
  were harmed on a federal enclave, even if the employer made the allegedly discriminatory decisions
  elsewhere. The court applied the principles of the doctrine of lex loci delicti commissi as set forth in the
  Restatement of Conflict of Laws in reasoning that employees suffered harm on the base where they
  worked, and that their claims were thus governed by federal law, rather than state law. Kennicott v.
  Sandia Corporation, 314 F.Supp.3d 1142, 1153, 1171, 1172.

  D.N.M.2018. Cit. generally in ftn. In a products-liability and negligence action filed by worker who was
  injured while using an unguarded table power saw, this court granted summary judgment for buyer that
  had acquired the saw's manufacturer under a purchase agreement, holding that buyer did not expressly
  assume manufacturer's liability with respect to the saw under Delaware law, which governed pursuant to
  the agreement's Delaware choice-of-law clause. The court noted that, for choice-of-law decisions
  involving contracts like the one at issue, New Mexico generally followed the Restatement of Conflict of
  Laws, under which the law of the place of contracting applied, but that the New Mexico Supreme Court
  had relaxed its adherence to the first Restatement in certain contexts in favor of the approach set forth in
  the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws, which acknowledged the realities of modem contracts and
  respected party autonomy by allowing the parties to choose the law that would govern the dispute.
  Lopez v. Delta International Machinery Corporation, 312 F.Supp.3d 1115, 1156.



                                     CHAPTER 7. PROPERTY

                                     TOPIC 3. MOVABLES

                                     TITLE A. CONVEYANCES

  § 255. Capacity to Convey Chattel

  N.Y.Sup.Ct.2018. Cit. in disc. In a dispute between a man and a woman who were no longer engaged to
  be married, this court held that, under New York law, the man was entitled to the return of a diamond
  ring that he had given the woman in contemplation of marriage. The court rejected the woman's
  argument that Florida law applied under the Restatement of Conflict of Laws, which provided that the
  law of the place where a chattel was conveyed controlled the nature and character of the interest
  conveyed, as well as questions of capacity, formal validity, and substantial validity of the conveyance,
  reasoning that, under the modem rule set forth in the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws, New
  York law applied as the law of the state with the most significant relationship to the parties and the
  chattel, as well as the conveyance. Luce v. Fleck, 75 N.Y.S.3d 822, 828.
