What, however, of the situation where there is a dispute between corporation A in
State X, and corporation B in State Y? Suppose that A and B are parties to a contract
for the sale of goods, with B the buyer, and B alleges that the goods are defective. If
they cannot resolve their dispute by negotiation, B may have to contemplate litigation
in a court, alleging that A breached the contract. B may sue A in B’s own country,
because their agreement has an exclusive jurisdiction clause providing for any dispute
arising from the contract to be litigated in B’s country.
