While I'm no lawyer, I do try to keep a rudimentary knowlege of the law. Most of it is simple to figure out, but in Liberty Watch Inc's complaint I noticed that there was the repetitive phrase: "a foriegn..."

Is that to identify HCI/CPHV as a corp that operates outside the Judicial district in which the complaint was filed, or was it simply a small jab at them for not being from "around here?" Your answers are greatly appreciated since I intend to go to lawschool before it is all over, and I would more than likely practice Constitutional law or civil rights law. Help me understand more of the complaint.


...oh, Great work Rich!!!!
 
I took intro to business a few years ago. In that class the instructor stated that in regards to companies "foreign" referrs to a company in another state. Don't know if this answers your question or not of if it applies when you begin speaking lawyer talk.
 
foreign corporation

foreign corporation: a corporation doing business
in one state though chartered or incorporated in
another state is a foreign corporation as to the
first state. (source: Black's Law Dictionary).
 
It's to designate them as a non-resident in order to obtain federal diversity jurisdiction, which allows a federal court to hear cases involving citizens from different states where a federal issue isn't involved.
