GPT on Question 48, Sep 20

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

Yes. As of March 2026, Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019), has not been overruled or vacated and remains binding precedent in the Eleventh Circuit.

The court held:

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

Id. at 1348.

Accordingly, a plaintiff cannot use Georgia’s renewal statute, O.C.G.A. § 9-2-61, to revive a Montreal Convention claim filed outside Article 35’s two-year period. The court affirmed dismissal because, under Article 35, the right to damages had been extinguished.
