Generally

D.N.D.2022.  Cit. generally in disc., cit. generally in cases cit. in disc., cit. generally in ftn. Minnesotan
and North Dakotan vaccine recipients filed a class action against Minnesota-based vaccine provider,
alleging that it administered vaccines to them that had been stored outside proper temperature ranges
and were potentially less effective. After recipients moved to compel provider to produce certain
documents, this court held that in camera review was necessary to determine whether the documents
were protected by Minnesota's peer-review privilege. The court predicted that North Dakota would
adopt an interest-based approach as set forth in the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws, rather than
a territorial approach as set forth in the Restatement of Conflict of Laws, in determining which state's
law governing privilege applied, and concluded that Minnesota privilege law applied under North
Dakota's choice-of-law rules, because Minnesota had the most significant contacts with and interest in
the documents at issue. Kraft v. Essentia Health, 602 F.Supp.3d 1130, 1139, 1140, 1142, 1143.



                                     CHAPTER 9. WRONGS

                                        TOPIC   1. TORTS

§ 377. The Place of Wrong

S.D.N.Y.2022. Note  4 cit. in case cit. but not fol. Holders of universal life-insurance policies, who
resided in California, filed a class action against New York-based insurer, alleging that it violated the
New  York Insurance Law  by issuing false or misleading policy documents that failed to disclose the
likelihood of future increases in their monthly cost of insurance charges. This court denied in part
insurer's motion for summary judgment, holding that policyholders were not precluded from
maintaining a claim against insurer under the New York Insurance Law because they resided in
California. The court noted that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit had rejected the
traditional view found in Restatement of Conflict of Laws § 377 that the law of the place of injury
ordinarily governed, and that the court had often concluded that New York had the greater interest in
adjudicating claims arising from allegedly fraudulent acts that were committed in New York but injured
plaintiffs in other jurisdictions. In re AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company COI Litigation, 595
F.Supp.3d 196, 239.
