When I was in practice, we had a case in which the other party tried to claim that he had not signed a loan agreement that bore his notarized signature. The judge called it the stupidest argument he'd ever heard. In today's post, a Bitcoin mining company tries to get out of an agreement it didn't sign. But it accepted the goods & paid per contractual terms. Not quite as dumb, but still dumb.

A Texas court needs a dictionary to figure out what "any," "deliver," and "direct" mean. Where's generative interpretation when you really need it?

SCOTX holds that in order to establish jurisdiction to overcome sovereign immunity, one has to plead facts sufficient to satisfy the statutory exception to immunity, not facts sufficient to show that the K unambiguously waived immunity

New Saudi government brings suit in Canada against entity that claims to have been an agent of the old Saudi government, alleging multi-billion $ fraud. Canada grants relief but the state secrets privilege prevents enforcement in the US. Sheesh!
