            CONFLICT OF LAWS 3D (DRAFTS)


                                 CHAPTER 2. DOMICILE

§ 2.01 Domicile of Natural and Juridical Persons

S.D.N.Y.2023. Subsec. (3) quot. in disc. (T.D. No. 2, 2021). Private equity firm that was organized
under the laws of Delaware and had its principal place of business in Florida sued e-commerce
fulfillment company that was incorporated and had its principal place of business in New York, seeking
expectation damages based on allegations that company breached its duty under the parties' letter of
intent to negotiate in good faith after firm's attempt to acquire company failed. This court granted
company's motion for partial summary judgment, holding that the Delaware choice-of-law provision in
the letter of intent was unenforceable and that the dispute was governed by New York law, under which
expectation damages were not available. The court reasoned, in part, that New York law had the most-
significant relationship to the dispute because, among other things, New York was where company had
its principal place of business and therefore was domiciled under Restatement Third of Conflict of Laws
§ 2.01. Cambridge Capital LLC v. Ruby Has LLC, 675 F.Supp.3d 363, 422.
