United States Supreme Court

342 U.S. 396

First National Bank of Chicago  v.  United Air Lines

 Argued: Jan. 8, 1952. --- Decided: March 3, 1952


Mr. Justice REED, dissenting.

I dissent on the ground that Hughes v. Fetter, 341 U.S. 609, 71 S.Ct. 980, 95 L.Ed. 1212, should not be extended to compel a state to entertain an action for wrongful death if the claim could be effectively litigated in the courts of the state where the cause of action arose.

The reasoning for this conclusion is stated in the dissent in Hughes v. Fetter, supra.
