A Norton Rose Fulbright litigation team prevailed on appeal in a tortious-interference lawsuit where the plaintiff tried to use a recent Supreme Court of the United States decision to sue a Michigan-based defendant in Texas.
In a prepared statement, Norton Rose said this was the first time a Texas court of appeals tested the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co., a case where the court concluded a Pennsylvania’s business registration statute—which expressly provided that registered foreign corporations consented to the personal jurisdiction of Pennsylvania courts—did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
