Michigan Supreme Court Holds “Blanket” Purchase Order Agreement Without Quantity Term is A “Release-by-Release” Contract, Allowing Auto Parts Supplier to Refuse Future Production Orders

On Tuesday, July 11, the Michigan Supreme Court issued a decision that could have profound impacts on the purchase and supply of automotive and other manufactured component parts under contracts governed by Michigan law. In MSSC, Inc. v. Airboss Flexible Products Co., Michigan’s high court found an automotive Tier 1 supplier’s purchase order contract unenforceable to compel future production from its supplier because the purchase order did not specify a quantity of parts to be supplied. In doing so, the Court formally titled a previously unnamed variation on a supply contract—the “release-by-release contract.”

Supreme Court Rules That Due Process Allows States to Compel Businesses to Consent to “All-Purpose” Jurisdiction as the Price of Doing Business Within the State

Can a state court, consistent with the Due Process Clause, compel a foreign corporation seeking to do business in the state to consent to general (“all-purpose”) personal jurisdiction?  Until its decision this week in Mallory v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co.,[1] the majority of courts forecast that the Supreme Court would answer that question with a resounding “no.”  Instead, five Justices in Mallory agreed that Pennsylvania’s business registration statute, which requires foreign corporations to consent to the state’s personal jurisdiction over “any cause of action” brought against them in state court, did not violate the Due Process Clause.[2] The decision is sure to encourage forum shopping and perhaps lead other states to adopt similar “consent-by-registration” statutes.

Supply Chain Recovery: Increasing Results While Minimizing Risk

Litigation Forecast 2024
In today’s tightly interwoven supply chains, a problem with the timely delivery or performance of components and parts provided by a supplier can have a big impact on a manufacturer, potentially causing production disruptions, reputational harm, costly recalls, and warranty claims. This is leading to more disputes over contract terms, the price and performance of parts and, in some cases, litigation. But a manufacturer need not shoulder the burden of these disputes alone. It can seek, and often achieve, the recovery of funds, all while taking care to manage its often delicate and valuable supplier relationships.

Supply Chain Recovery: Opportunities, Challenges, and Best Practices

Throughout the supply chain, companies regularly face losses related to contractual breaches, defective products or services, or late products or services. Recouping these costs and losses from other levels of supply chain provides a company’s legal department with an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the bottom line. This CLE will focus on discussing best practices, opportunities for recovery, and current challenges companies face related to supply chain recovery. Topics will include the benefits of and impediments to establishing a recovery program, how to maintain commercial supplier relationships and avoid litigation while maintain a robust recovery practice, and recent case law developments and market trends that could impact companies’ supply contracts and opportunities for recovery.

If you are interested in attending this program, please contact Rachael Padgett, rpadgett@crowell.com.

Supply Chain Webinar Series: Torts & Product Liability Issues

A failure to meet safety compliance and regulatory obligations can undo the herculean efforts to surmount supply chain challenges and get products into the US. Our Products Liability and Regulatory Compliance lawyers will discuss the impacts of current efforts by regulators to police product safety at the ports, the expectations of federal safety regulators at the ports and how to use compliance documentation to speed the process when products have been stopped for inspection. Our discussion will cover activities at CPSC, NHTSA, EPA and FDA. The panel will also discuss the challenge of counterfeit products and parts and how safety can be a lever to stop counterfeits. Given the increased costs of shipping, downstream recovery opportunities may help alleviate some of the monetary pressures and our panel will discuss these opportunities as well as the contract clauses that can allocate risks appropriately when things do go wrong.
