Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. v. Bell
Petition for certiorari denied on October 5, 2020
Issue: Whether “control” – concerning when federal law permits someone to be subject to preclusion for having exercised “control” over a
lawsuit, even if they were not formally a party to it –
is assessed based on the totality of
the circumstances, as seven U.S. courts of appeals have
held, or using a rigid two-part test, as four U.S. courts of
appeals have held.
