submitted 105 years ago by Pub. L. 110-234 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 123 words · no verdicts yet
Disputes over a poultry or swine production or marketing contract must be resolved in the federal court district where most of the work under the contract happens. The contract may also specify which state's law applies to state-law issues. That choice does not apply if the state where the work mostly happens bans it.
The forum for resolving any dispute among the parties to a poultry growing arrangement* or swine production or marketing contract that arises out of the arrangement or contract shall be located in the Federal judicial district in which the principle part of the performance takes place under the arrangement or contract.
A poultry* growing arrangement or swine production or marketing contract may specify which State’s law is to apply to issues governed by State law in any dispute arising out of the arrangement or contract, except to the extent that doing so is prohibited by the law of the State in which the principal part of the performance takes place under the arrangement or contract.
