GPT on Question 48, Sep 26

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 overruled or abrogated. The Supreme Court subsequently denied certiorari.

Its core holding concerning Article 35 of the Montreal Convention 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).

Accordingly, an action for damages governed by the Montreal Convention must be brought within Article 35’s two-year period; equitable tolling cannot extend that deadline.
