SCOTUS won’t review Supreme Court’s $414 million Hague Convention service decision

The U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari of the California Supreme Court’s April opinion in Rockefeller Technology Investments (Asia) VII v. Changzhou Sinotype Technology Co., Ltd.  California’s high court there reinstated a $414 million judgment against a Chinese-based company, enforcing the company’s contractual agreement to overseas service of litigation notices by a less formal method than provided for in an international treaty, the Hague Convention on Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil and Commercial Matters.
