    Case Analysis

    Schmidt, a South Carolina citizen, sued Wachovia Bank in a South Carolina state court for fraudulently inducing him to participate in an illegal tax shelter. Wachovia is a national bank with its main office in North Carolina and branch offices in several other states, including South Carolina. Under federal diversity jurisdiction, federal courts can hear cases in which the parties are citizens of different states. Wachovia filed a petition in Federal District Court, seeking to compel arbitration of the dispute. After the petition was denied on the merits, Wachovia appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Under 28 U.S.C. Section 1348, national banks are "deemed citizens of the States in which they are respectively located." The Circuit Court interpreted "located" to mean any state where the bank has a branch location. Noting that the statute uses both "located" and "established" to refer to the presence of a bank, the Circuit Court determined that a national bank is "established" in the state where its main office is located, and "located" in every state where it has a branch office. Therefore, under the Fourth Circuit's reasoning, Wachovia was "located" in, and a citizen of, South Carolina (as well as several other states with branch offices). Since both parties, Schmidt and Wachovia, had South Carolina citizenship, the Circuit Court dismissed the case for lack of diversity jurisdiction.…

    Case Analysis

    Harry Rosen Inc. is a privately owned family corporation that sells high-end men’s clothing. This company was established in 1954 by Harry and his brother Lou Rosen in Toronto. They had originally started as a made-to-measure store on Parliament Street with a $500 down payment (Harry Rosen Inc., 2010a). After having tremendous success, they moved their location closer to the Financial District in order to serve their clientele better (Harry Rosen Inc., 2010a). Many skeptics had criticized their decision, but this strategic move had worked in their favour. As of today, this clothing chain has 16 locations across Canada servicing an array of customers. Originally, their focus was to sell made-to-measure suits, but that has expanded to ready to wear suits, dress shirts and ties, sportswear, footwear and accessories. Designers such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Armani Collezioni, TOM FORD, Brunello Cucinelli, and Canali are featured in their flagship stores. Harry’s relationships with Italian manufacturers have allowed him to feature an in-house casual fashion line as well. As of 2009, Harry Rosen is the only specialty…
