Niagara Transformer Corp. v. Baldwin Technologies, Inc.
United States District Court for the District of Maryland
2013 WL 2919705 (2013)
- Written by Jamie Milne, JD
Facts
New York manufacturer Niagara Transformer Corp. (Niagara) (plaintiff) filed a breach-of-contract suit against a Maryland buyer, Baldwin Technologies, Inc. (BTI) (defendant), in a federal district court in Maryland. Niagara’s complaint asserted that the dispute was governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) as adopted in New York because the contract was for the sale of goods and was formed in New York. BTI’s answer cited both New York law and Maryland law. Consequently, as a threshold matter, the district court conducted a choice-of-law analysis to determine which state’s substantive law governed the parties’ dispute.
