The applicant, an automotive manufacturer, sought an interim injunction to prevent the respondent supplier from ceasing delivery of component parts to its Windsor plant amid a pricing dispute.
The respondent challenged the court's jurisdiction, relying on an exclusive jurisdiction clause in the applicant's standard terms requiring all suits to be brought in Michigan.
The court found the clause clear and applicable, and held that the applicant failed to show 'strong cause' to avoid its own standard terms.
The court declined jurisdiction and vacated the previously granted ex parte interim injunction.
