Fogleman v. Aramco - United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Fogleman v. Aramco

By United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

  • Release Date: 1991-01-04
  • Genre: Law

Description

The district court correctly decided that Saudi Arabian law applies in a suit for personal injuries sustained on an oil platform off the coast of Saudi Arabia by an United States domiciliary, employed by a Saudi Arabian subsidiary of an United States corporation to work in Saudi Arabia, because all relevant contacts except the domicile of the employee point to Saudi Arabia. We remand to the district court, however, for recalculation of taxable costs.
