Crane Construction Co. v. JKC Construction, Inc.

District Court, W.D. Missouri · 2010-11-22 · cited 1×

The case involved a breach of contract dispute between Crane Construction Co. and JKC Construction, Inc., arising from two subcontracts for renovations at Kohl’s stores, with each party alleging the other had failed to perform. Plaintiff originally sued in Missouri state court, Defendant removed the case to federal court under diversity jurisdiction, and Plaintiff moved to remand based on forum selection clauses in the contracts. The court granted the motion to remand, holding that the clauses were valid even though they appeared in boilerplate language that the parties had not specifically negotiated. The court further concluded that the clauses’ language—requiring that jurisdiction and venue be solely and exclusively in a court located in Andrew County, Missouri, and no other—constituted a clear and unequivocal waiver of the right to remove the action to federal court.
