The 11th Circuit has reversed a district court ruling that barred a Costa Rican distributor from suing a multinational company outside the U.S., an issue involving foreign anti-suit injunctions that has caused a circuit court split. The ruling allows Lantech to pursue a Costa Rican suit against Canonlat, Canon Inc.'s Latin American operation. The 11th Circuit found that Canonlat did not demonstrate that resolving the matter in Florida district court would dispose of Lantech's claim in Costa Rica.
