  2. SmithKline Beecham Corp. v. Laboratories

    1:15CV360 (M.D.N.C. Mar. 20, 2017)

    Noting the conflict of authority, and relying on the reasoning in these decisions, several other North Carolina district courts have applied the lex loci test. M-Tek Kiosk, Inc. v. Clayton, 1:15CV886, 2016 WL 2997505, at *12 (M.D.N.C. May 23, 2016), appeal dismissed (July 19, 2016); Best v. Time Warner Inc., No. 5:11-CV-00104-RLV-DSC, 2013 WL 66265, at *3 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 4, 2013). However, the United Virginia case (on which these courts partially relied), in finding the lex loci rule to be "the better rule," did not discuss the use of the significant relationship test in complex injury cases and acknowledged that applying either test in that case would have brought about the same result. 79 N.C. App. at 322, 339 S.E.2d at 94.
