Forum selection; removal and remand
Article Abstract:
The laws governing removal and procedure for remand are in 28 USC 1446-1447 and amendments to 1446(b), adopted in 1988, have been strictly construed and reflect Congress' command to limit removal of cases from state courts. Congress has also placed a one-year time limit on removing diversity claims as a part of its intention to restrict diversity jurisdiction. Relevant case law is reviewed.
