handle is hein.ali/resctlw0154 and id is 1 raw text is: CONFLICT OF LAWS 2D Generally D.Mass.2018. Cit. generally in case quot. in sup. Estate of mechanic who resided in Maine sued, among others, New York manufacturer of steam turbines, which had a principal place of business in Massachusetts, alleging that mechanic developed mesothelioma as a result of being exposed to asbestos insulation that was installed in defendant's turbines during the course of his employment at a shipyard in Maine. This court granted defendant's motion to apply Maine substantive law, rather than Massachusetts substantive law, holding that Maine appeared to have a more significant relationship with the parties and the occurrence. The court noted that Massachusetts courts resolved choice-of-law questions by assessing various choice-influencing considerations, including those provided in the Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws. Burleigh v. Alfa Laval, Inc., 313 F.Supp.3d 343, 351. 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 Ill.App.2018. Cit. generally in disc. Litigation-financing firm sued client, who agreed to repay firm using any settlement or judgment, and client's attorney, who agreed to abide by a letter of direction in which client instructed attorney to pay firm before disbursing any settlement funds to client, after client received a settlement in her underlying lawsuit but failed to use the funds to pay firm. This court granted attorney's motion to dismiss, holding that the agreement was champertous and unenforceable under Minnesota law, and that attorney's obligations under the letter of direction were wholly dependent on the enforceability of the agreement. The court rejected firm's argument that the letter of direction, which did not contain a choice-of-law clause, was governed by Illinois law under Restatement Second of Conflict of Laws, noting that the agreement plainly stated that it was controlled by Minnesota law. Prospect Funding Holdings, LLC v. Saulter, 102 N.E.3d 741, 747. CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION § 2. Subject Matter of Conflict of Laws Or.2018. Cit. in disc.; com. (a)(3) quot. in disc.
