LIMITATION OF DIVERSITY JURISDICTION IN CASES AFFECTING FOREIGN CORPORATIONS

Authors

Gustavus Ohlinger, Member of the Toledo Bar

Abstract

On February 29, 1932, President Hoover sent to the Senate and House of Representatives a message recommending that the jurisdiction of federal courts based on diversity of citizenship be modified by "providing that where a corporation, organized under the laws of one State, carries on business in another State it shall be treated as a citizen of the State wherein it carries on business as respects suits brought within that State between it and the residents thereof arising out of the business carried on in such State."
