GPT on Question 48, Sep 18

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 remains binding Eleventh Circuit precedent; its central holding has not been overruled or vacated.

The court held:

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

Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., 925 F.3d 1339, 1341 (11th Cir. 2019).

Thus, Article 35’s two-year period extinguishes an untimely Montreal Convention claim and cannot be extended through equitable-tolling principles.
