What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I entered what I thought was an oral agreement with someone in New Jersey to perform services in California. There is a question whether we had an oral contract or I am seeking a remedy under a Quasi Contract. The other side believes he may have an action against me.
1. Is the proper venue for any action California, New Jersey or either one?
2. If venue is proper in both jurisdictions and we both file suit in which
State will the action be litigated?
3. Will it be determined by (1) who files the first lawsuit? or (2) Who serves
his/her lawsuit first?
Thank you.
