This is potentially huge

fridiSurprising in this day and age to find any contract between independent and client/employer that does not contain some resolution of conflict clause. I thought deciding on state and county of jurisdiction is almost assumed when signing up a new client. I wonder if any of the judges was asked why such a clause was absent in the agreement. An answer one way or another could go a long way in determining what both parties believed at the time of signing.
Supreme Court, missing a justice, considers a trucking case that could rattle the economy
- A closely watched case could saddle the industry with higher costs that could hit consumers and ripple throughout the economy.
- The case, New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira, No. 17-340, pits business interests against labor groups in the first major case of the term that could have consequences for hundreds of thousands of American workers and potentially millions of consumers.
- It comes amid a bruising confirmation battle for Brett Kavanaugh, whom President Donald Trump nominated in July to succeed Anthony Kennedy, long considered the court's swing vote.
This may become a landmark case in employment law. I don't think Congress is likely to repeal the exemption for contracts of employment to the Federal Arbitration Act. It will be interesting how SCOTUS addresses the misclassification issue.
