MD Helicopters, Inc., based in Arizona, failed to deliver eight helicopters to the Netherlands National Police Services
Question:
MD Helicopters, Inc., based in Arizona, failed to deliver eight helicopters to the Netherlands National Police Services Agency. The National Police successfully sued MD for breach of contract in Dutch court proceedings. The Netherlands’ government represented its police force and then brought suit in Arizona to compel MD to pay the prescribed damages. The Netherlands based its claim on an Arizona statute that recognizes foreign-country judgments if the relevant laws of that country are “similar”
to those of Arizona. MD countered that no Netherlands law addressed the issues relating to its dispute with the National Police. Rather, only Dutch court decisions did so. Was MD correct?
