Teco Barge Line v. Hagan

15 So. 3d 863 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2009) (July)

The district court overturned the denial of the defendant’s motion to dismiss for improper venue. The plaintiff had signed an agreement with the defendant that included a forum selection clause which would move all disputes between them to federal courts in either Kentucky or Illinois. The plaintiff argued that the forum selection clause was ambiguous, but the district court disagreed and emphasized the rule that forum selection clauses are presumptively valid.
