3 Citing cases

  1. Scudder v. Union National Bank

    91 U.S. 406 (1875)   Cited 168 times
    In Scudder v. Union National Bank, 91 U.S. 406, the broad statement of the foregoing cases was somewhat narrowed, and it was stated that the law prevailing at the place of the performance of a contract regulated matters connected with its performance, and that matters bearing upon the execution, interpretation and validity of the contract were determined by the law of the place where it was made.

    The result in either event is to compel the promisor to pay the amount of the bill with interest. Townley v. Sumdel, 2 Pet. 170; Boyce v. Edwards, 4 id. 111; Goodrich v. Gordon, 15 Johns. 6; Scott v. Pilkinton, 15 Abb. Pr. 280; Ontario Bank v. Worthington, 12 Wend. 593; Bissell v. Lewis, 4 Mich. 450; Williams v. Winans, supra. These principles settle the present case against the appellants.

  2. Kinco Aviation v. Sowell Air. Serv

    715 So. 2d 376 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1998)

    We quash the trial court's order transferring the cause to the county court. Once a cause has been transferred to the circuit court pursuant to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 1.060(a) and 1.170(j) because the good faith demand of the counterclaim exceeds the jurisdiction of the county court in which the action was pending, jurisdiction remains in the circuit court regardless of whether some or all of the counts of the counterclaim are thereafter dismissed. See National Juice Corporation v. Gilligan, 63 So.2d 914 (Fla. 1953); Gordon v. Goodrich, 347 So.2d 715 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977); Watt v. Bill Branch Chevrolet, Inc., 292 So.2d 56 (Fla. 2d DCA 1974).
