CleanSpark v. Discover Growth Fund forum-selection ruling (cited precedent)
Company: CleanSpark
The claim, verbatim
This court cited a 2020 S.D.N.Y. decision in CleanSpark, Inc. v. Discover Growth Fund, LLC. That court applied New York law, held that broad forum-selection clauses can cover claims where the contract is relevant only as a defense, and found that the clause in CleanSpark's contract covering 'any dispute ... in connection' with the contract was such a clause.
