Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Hertz Corp. v. Friend remains good law: all 250 flagged citations have been read, and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The reviewed opinions applied Hertz's nerve-center test, jurisdictional burden, and competent-proof rules or described Hertz as the decision that displaced older circuit tests such as Gafford, Tosco, Everett, and Amoco Rocmount.
More on how this was screened

Those descriptions concern Hertz's effect on other cases rather than adverse treatment of Hertz. Other adverse-looking language concerned unrelated precedents, removal issues, or factual challenges to jurisdiction.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

2,768 later cases cite Hertz Corp. v. Friend; 250 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 250 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
