From petitions to online comments, the Not A Mustang movement needs to end. Mustang Mach-E is part of Ford’s present and future, whether you’re okay with it or not.
Like many of you, I was not happy with Ford when they first announced the Mustang name and logo would be used on a four-door crossover. Calling the all-electric Mach-E a Mustang seemed like blasphemy. An insult to a legendary nameplate even. Why not just call it just the Mach-E? Or better yet the Model E, since Ford gained the naming rights to that right out from under Tesla. It would have been so sweet to stick it to Tesla like that.

Over the last few years, the Supreme Court has had a reputation as very pro-business. Late last month, however, the Court handed consumers a rare win related to personal jurisdiction. The Court’s opinion has important implications regarding where an injured consumer can sue the manufacturer of a defective product.
Before we dive into the Court’s opinion, a crash course on personal jurisdiction is in order. Pursuant to the Constitution’s Due Process Clause, there are only two ways that a state court can exercise personal jurisdiction over a defendant: general jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction. General jurisdiction is where a person or an entity is “essentially at home.” Corporate defendants are “at home” where they are incorporated and where they maintain their headquarters. A consumer can always sue a corporation where it is incorporated and where it maintains its headquarters.

In a much-anticipated decision issued on March 25, 2021, the United States Supreme Court tackled when companies can be sued outside their “home” state.
Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eight Judicial District Court, 592 U.S. (2021). The case had the potential to dramatically limit specific personal jurisdiction by concluding that it exists only when a claim
arises out of or relates to the defendant’s in-state contacts. But the Court chose a different path by a unanimous 8–0 vote. The decision has important ramifications for manufacturers, distributors, and sellers who market and sell their products in multiple states. Businesses should be familiar with this decision as it may foreclose one early avenue to challenge a state court’s jurisdiction.
