Question:
Bulldog Motors PLC is a British corporation that manufactures high-end motorcycles. Its principal place of business is Leeds, United Kingdom. It has a wholly owned subsidiary, Bulldog North America, Inc. ("BNA"), a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Huntsville, Alabama, where it operates an assembly plant for motorcycles to be sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Mei Guo Products Ltd. (MGP) is a Swiss corporation with its principal place of business in Singapore. It operates a wholly owned subsidiary, MGP-Thailand Corp. (MGPT), which is a Swiss corporation with its principal place of business and its manufacturing facilities for automotive parts in Bangkok, Thailand. On June 1, the purchasing manager for BNA, who is in Toronto, Canada, for a regional corporate meeting, does a video conference call with the sales manager of MGPT, who is in Bangkok. The purchasing manager and the sales manager agree orally that BNA will purchase 10,000 flex rotor assemblies from MGPT at a price of 27.50 per unit, including shipping from Thailand to Los Angeles, California, or a total contract price of 275,000 (roughly US$300,000 at the time of the transaction). The transaction is subsequently confirmed in writing. Subsequently, a dispute arises between the parties. MGPT refuses to ship the items, and BNA claims breach of contract. What law applies to the transaction? Might there be something you have to look up in connection with answering this questionsomething we discussed at the beginning of this unit?
