Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen T. Brown in Miami permanently blocked a lawsuit in Costa Rica against Canon's Latin American division. The plaintiff, a local Canon distributor, argued the lawsuit had to be brought in the Central American country because of a Costa Rican law requiring certain business disputes to be settled there. The case is expected to end up before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which could establish a precedent on how to interpret forum selection clauses in contracts.
