I though that a corporation or an individual had to be sued in the state where thay are incorporated or where they "lived." Is this a case in which the suit alleging proceedural misconduct is using proceedural misunderstanding. A person or part may be sued where the defendant resides, (the state of incorporation) or the place where they conduct business. (International Shoe is the case on point.) In this case it was filed in Florida as the actions claimed were taken in that state, and the GSDCA acts within the state. It also could have been filed in New York, or any other state. It also can be moved to US District Court in any state. I certainly agree with you Ileana - People can get together, apologise, and stop all this - it is a question of "will they!" The answer to that will determine their level of acceptance and respect by the club members. Just my simple take on it! There was an opportunity for that, and maybe it still exists. That is up to the plaintiff, Margy. She will make that decision.
