In BNSF Railway Co v Tyrrell, 581 U. S. ____ (2017), the U.S. Supreme Court held that a Montana court’s general personal jurisdiction over a corporate defendant violated due process. The decision reaffirmed the Court’s decision in Daimler AG v. Bauman, 134 S. Ct. 746 (2014), in which the justices held that general jurisdiction over corporations is limited to states where the corporation is incorporated or has its principal place of business.
