In Re Lisa Laser USA, Inc. and Lisa Laser Products, Ohg, Relators

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the forum‑selection clause in Exhibit F of the distribution agreement governs any dispute arising out of the agreement, including claims against both Lisa USA and Lisa Germany, and that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to enforce the clause; mandamus relief was therefore appropriate, and Texas law governs the mandamus action despite the parties' choice of California substantive law.
