Chances are, the LIRR will get it moved to federal court, since the particular territory is under FRA jurisdiction.Federal courts have limited jurisdiction. In order to have a case heard in federal court, basically either it needs to be a diversity of citizenship case (which isn't going to happen when people in LIC are suing LIRR) or a federal question case. On the latter, is there a federal statute is at issue? Is there a federal constitutional claim? Essentially then, we are talking about any potential lawsuit being adjudicated in New York Supreme Court, Queens County likely at the Court Sq courthouse not far away, possibly at Jamaica but less likely. But it's not legal strategy that will help the whiners - it's political strategy. |
