Abstract

The article discusses the unique aspects of venue and jurisdiction in New York law, particularly how they differ from federal practice and other states. In New York, an improper venue does not create a jurisdictional defect, allowing cases to proceed even if filed in the wrong court, as long as the defendant does not timely object. The article also highlights the implications of recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings regarding general jurisdiction over corporations, particularly the Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co. decision, which allows states to require corporations to consent to general jurisdiction as a condition of doing business. This development may affect how corporate registration and jurisdiction are approached in New York. [Extracted from the article]
