More on how this was screened

The confirmed treatment is listed below: the Supreme Court's Lauro Lines S.R.L. v. Chasser rejected Coastal Steel's rule allowing an immediate appeal under the collateral order doctrine when a forum selection clause is not enforced. Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. v. Mayacamas Corp. also removed its Enelow-Ettelson basis for an immediate appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). Coastal Steel's substantive forum selection holdings continue to be cited. The treating Supreme Court opinions do not name Coastal Steel; the Third Circuit's later identification of their effect is included as verification.

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.

365 later cases cite Coastal Steel Corp. v. Tilghman Wheelabrator Ltd.; 73 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.

Treatments

Overruled in part

  • The Supreme Court rejected immediate collateral-order appeals from orders declining to enforce forum-selection clauses, displacing Coastal Steel's appellate-jurisdiction holding.

    Lauro Lines S.R.L. v. Chasser · Supreme Court of the United States · filed

    We granted certiorari to consider whether an interlocutory order of a United States District Court denying a defendant's motion to dismiss a damages action on the basis of a contractual forum-selection clause is immediately appealable under 28 U. S. C. § 1291 as a collateral final order. We hold that it is not.
