Forum Selection Clause in Nursing Home Admission Agreement Enforceable

The Second Department determined defendant nursing home’s motion to change venue based upon a forum selection clause in the admission agreement should have been granted. After her mother (a resident of defendant nursing home) died, plaintiff brought this action for medical malpractice in a county other than that designated in the admission agreement:

” A contractual forum selection clause is prima facie valid and enforceable unless it is shown by the challenging party to be unreasonable, unjust, in contravention of public policy, invalid due to fraud or overreaching, or it is shown that a trial in the selected forum would be so gravely difficult that the challenging party would, for all practical purposes, be deprived of its day in court'” … . Here, the plaintiff failed to show that enforcement of the forum selection clause would be unreasonable, unjust, or in contravention of public policy, or that the inclusion of the forum selection clause in the agreement was the result of fraud or overreaching … . Moreover, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that a trial in Suffolk County would be so gravely difficult that, for all practical purposes, she would be deprived of her day in court … . Puleo v Shore View Ctr. for Rehabilitation & Health Care, 2015 NY Slip Op 07255, 2nd Dept 10-7-15
