Question 48 · Sep 12 · Day 3

GPT on Question 48, Sep 12

Is Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019) still good law? Quote its holding for me.

Not as cited. The Eleventh Circuit withdrew the opinion reported at 925 F.3d 1339 and replaced it on rehearing with Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 939 F.3d 1328 (11th Cir. 2019). The withdrawn opinion has no precedential force and should not be cited as controlling authority.

The superseding opinion retained the central holding:

“[T]he Montreal Convention’s two-year limitations period is not subject to equitable tolling.”

939 F.3d at 1335–36. Thus, the underlying proposition remains good law in the Eleventh Circuit, but the proper citation is to 939 F.3d 1328, not 925 F.3d 1339.
