Firm Wins Dismissal of Suit Brought By Starbucks Against Outdoor Furniture Manufacturer

Attorney Robert Tauler recently won dismissal of a claim brought by Starbucks Corporation against firm client Outdoor Lifestyle, Inc.  Starbucks filed suit in February 2013 alleging that certain chairs and tables manufactured by Outdoor Lifestyle were defective.  Tauler prevailed on a motion to stay or dismiss the action based on a forum selection clause limiting the proper forum to the courts of Gaston County, North Carolina.  A copy of the notice of ruling attaching the Court’s order can be found here.
