Q: The phrase “without regard to its conflicts of law provisions” may be looked over by the contracting party?
“The validity of this authorization is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois...”
I am in California the defendant parties will not respond when asking if they can investigate whether my signature or original or if it was done without my authority. I understand that if my signature had been forged, or signed without my authority or if I decide to terminate the agreement, I would have to seek counsel in the jurisdiction of the state where the contract was made. Is this true?
A:
this is listed as a WC question which i do not do.
I think you have to set up an appt with an attorney close to where you reside to see if the facts will warrant jurisdiction and a filing there.
otherwise, you may be forced to deal with Illinois law.
