GPT on Question 48, Sep 15

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

Yes. Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019), remains binding Eleventh Circuit precedent; it has not been overruled or abrogated. The Supreme Court denied certiorari. Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., 140 S. Ct. 934 (2020).

Its central holding was:

“We hold that the Montreal Convention’s two-year limitations period is not subject to equitable tolling.”

925 F.3d at 1341. Thus, a claim governed by Article 35 of the Montreal Convention must be brought within two years; forum-law or equitable tolling doctrines cannot extend that period.
