Witt v. Nation-Wide Horse Transportation, Inc.
8/15/2024 pdw
In this case a horse transportation company injured a horse while transporting it to Iowa. The transportation contract had a forum selection clause selecting Colorado as the venue, but a contract has effect only if all the parties agreed to it. The plaintiffs argue in this case that one of the parties, Caroline, signed only in her capacity as an agent for Witt, the horse's owner. They argue that because she was acting as an agent, her agreement bound only Witt, so she was not bound by the forum selection clause, and so the case could stay in Iowa.
