Piper Case- case dismissed in the US fed court by of forum non convenient- should have been filed in Scotland 1. Reasons to dismiss- footnote 6 of Piper case. Common sense. V. Erie Doctrine a. In federal court in a diversity case- an consequent is to be nail downd, the valuate must decide if she must apply state law. i. Erie- In a diversity case, the judge must apply state law for substantive state law. Erie decides this- reins of finale function 1652 and the US Constitution- 10th Amendment. . Element of a claim is always substantive law ii. Hannah v. Plumer- shows that Erie Doctrine is 2 doctrines 1. Is there a federal law on point that directly conflicts with state law, Ie FRCP, statutes, chances of Evidence. , If there is yes, we apply the federal law as long as it is valid ( ground upon the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. ) 1. Test validity under the detects Enabling Act 2072- Shady Grove-4 justices said that all you have to show that the rule is arguably procedural Stevenson- said you have to look and see if the rule intrudes into state policy.A FRCP has ever been invalidated. 2.

Outcome Determinative- endorsement Trust v. York- under state statute of limitations case was filed too late, case filed in federal court, judge wanted to ignore state on statute of limitations, court held no bc it is endpoint determinative. If you apply the state law, case dismissed. If you apply federal rules, the case goes forward. Bc there are different outcomes, it is substantive. 2.Balance the interest- Byrd v Blueridge- state law said a specific number is decided by a judge, not jury. Filed in federal court, judge wanted to let it go to the jury. not clearly outcome determinative, but court said if something is not clearly substantive, follow state law, unless the federal court has an interest in doing it differently. Weigh the interests of the 2 systems. In this case there was no reason for this rule, so the federal interest outweighed the state interest in this case. 3. Twin aims of Erie- comes from Hanna 1. Avoid forum obtain 2. Avoid inequitable administration of law. i.To apply this, ask at the commencement exercise of the case, if the fe deral judge ignores this state law, will it cause parties to flock to federal court. We dont want this bc it provides an advantage to diversity cases. VI. Pleadings a. Complaint- plead filed by ?. overtop 8 a i. Statement of subject case jx ii.
