GPT on Question 48, Oct 1

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., Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019), remains binding Eleventh Circuit precedent; it has not been overruled or vacated.

Its central holding was:

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

The court therefore affirmed dismissal of the plaintiff’s action as untimely under Article 35 of the Montreal Convention. The decision distinguishes the forum’s permissible method of calculating the two-year period from impermissibly tolling or extending that period.
