Brinson v. Martin

In Brinson v. Martin, 220 Ga. App. 638, 640 (469 SE2d 537) (1996), the forum selection provision in Brinson's employment contract stated that "the exclusive venue for the pursuit of any legal proceeding or remedy arising out of this contract shall be Douglas County, Nebraska." Id. at 638. Brinson sued his employer (Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society) for breach of contract and sued four Woodmen employees for tortious interference with economic relations and unjust enrichment. Id. at 638-640. The Court held that the tortious interference and unjust enrichment claims arose directly or indirectly from the contract and rejected Brinson's argument that the forum selection provision in the contract was not broad enough to apply to those claims. Id. at 640.
