The lawsuit should be filed in California. Generally, the Nevada court has no jurisdiction over Jack or his construction company, as they are based in another state.
That court can, however, assert in personam jurisdiction, or personal jurisdiction, over Jack and his company, and hear the case where the work was done. Like the courts, law enforcement agencies are subject to issues of jurisdiction. Within a single state, there may be several law enforcement agencies, which work together in a sort of choreographed maneuver:.
Each of these law enforcement agencies has their own territories, or police jurisdiction, but they work together to help ensure services are provided seamlessly between the regions.
For instance, if city police chase a car across the city limits, they may be joined by county deputies to bring the chase to an end. State police often have broad authority, and are invited into the city or county jurisdictions to assist in certain cases. Federal law enforcement officials have authority to arrest a person who has violated a federal law, regardless of which jurisdiction he is in. This is because they have authority to act when federal laws are violated, regardless of location within the U.
In general, a law enforcement officer does not have the authority to arrest someone outside his jurisdiction. Similarly, an off duty police officer, who is on vacation in another state, has no authority to detain or arrest someone in his official capacity as a police officer. One of the first considerations for any court in the land is whether it has jurisdiction over any case brought before it. Laypeople bringing their own suit are often unaware of limitations to jurisdiction, which is understandable.
This leaves the court responsible for making that determination before the case can move forward. In the s, a young couple were riding a motorcycle which crashed because of a faulty valve that had been produced in Japan. The driver was seriously injured, and his wife, riding as passenger, was killed in the accident.
The victim filed a civil lawsuit in the California court, where the victims lived, and the accident happened, against the Taiwanese distributor of the value, Cheng Shin Rubber Industrial Co. Cheng Shin Rubber had purchased the valves to use in their assembly of thousands of motorcycle wheels.
Cheng Shin filed a complaint with the court, asserting that the faulty valves had been manufactured by Asahi Metal Industry Co, in Japan, and that Cheng Shin had no knowledge that they were faulty. The complaint asked to be relieved of responsibility in the lawsuit, and that Asahi instead be held responsible. Asahi argued that the court in California had no jurisdiction over the company.
Subject matter jurisdiction is the court's authority to decide the issue in controversy such as a contracts issue, or a civil rights issue. State courts have general jurisdiction , meaning that they can hear any controversy except those prohibited by state law some states, for example, deny subject matter jurisdiction for a case that does not involve state citizens and did not take place in the state and those allocated to federal courts of exclusive jurisdiction such as bankruptcy issues see 28 U.
Federal courts have limited jurisdiction in that they can only hear cases that fall both within the scope defined by the Constitution in Article III Section 2 and Congressional statutes See 28 U. Territorial jurisdiction is the court's power to bind the parties to the action. This law determines the scope of federal and state court power.
State court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment and the federal court territorial jurisdiction is determined by the Due Process Clause of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment. For more, see World-Wide Volkswagen v. Woodson ; see also International Shoe v. Most cases are heard in state courts but federal courts have jurisdiction in nine types of cases, including those that arise under the terms of the U.
They have a constitutional issue at their base. Federal courts also hear cases involving other federal laws and treaties made by the United States. They hear cases involving ambassadors and public ministers, disputes between two or more states, admiralty law, and bankruptcies. Cases involving the Internal Revenue Service and federal tax issues are heard by the U. Tax Court, while cases involving state taxes are heard by state tax courts.
People often say, "I'm taking this all the way to the Supreme Court," but that's not technically possible, as the Supreme Court's jurisdiction is more limited than you might think.
It's charged by the U. Constitution with performing judicial reviews of specific cases that have already been decided in other courts. Some other types of jurisdiction include appellate jurisdiction and concurrent jurisdiction. Appellate jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to hear an appeal and to revise, overturn, or uphold a previous court's decision.
The Supreme Court is the final appellant court in the appeals process. Concurrent jurisdiction is exercised simultaneously by more than one court over the same subject matter and within the same territory. A litigant can choose in which jurisdiction the case is filed.
