Keller Postman Secures Unanimous Supreme Court Victory for Plaintiffs in Royal Canin v. Wullschleger

The Supreme Court's decision marks a sharp break from past practice, where plaintiffs were stripped of authority to dictate their choice of forum. Before this decision, the consensus among lower courts had been to look to the original complaint, rather than to a plaintiff's amended complaint, to determine supplemental jurisdiction. Keller Postman was retained to represent respondents after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case last spring. In addition to Ashley's advocacy, Keller Postman associate Noah Heinz played an integral role in briefing the jurisdictional dispute and helping Ashley prepare for oral argument.
This victory is Ashley's second watershed win for plaintiffs before the Supreme Court. In 2023,
Ashley prevailed in Mallory v. Norfolk Southern, opening courthouse doors across the country to plaintiffs by reviving the original understanding of "registration statutes." When corporate defendants do business in states with registration statutes, they have consented to general personal jurisdiction in those states, and plaintiffs have the right to sue in those states' courts.
