GPT on Question 48, Sep 22

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; it has not been vacated or overruled by the Eleventh Circuit en banc or the Supreme Court.

Its holding was:

“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, a claim governed by the Montreal Convention must be brought within Article 35’s two-year period; equitable tolling or a state-law renewal provision cannot extend that period.
