Casey, a resident of State Q, brings a lawsuit in State Q's superior court against Business Q, which is also incorporated and has its main office in State Q. Casey alleges that Business Q violated her contractual agreement and also infringed upon her fundamental legal rights. Business Q seeks to have the lawsuit heard in another court system that has broader jurisdiction. Based on the organization and relationship of state and federal courts, which of the following best supports Business Q's request to transfer the case to the broader jurisdiction court system?
Both parties reside in the same state, establishing diversity jurisdiction.
The case includes both state and other legal issues, allowing for concurrent jurisdiction.
The lawsuit involves fundamental legal rights, which are within the jurisdiction of the broader court system.
The amount in dispute exceeds the threshold required for the broader court’s jurisdiction.
Business Q can seek to transfer the case to a court with broader jurisdiction because the lawsuit involves fundamental legal rights, which are typically addressed by a higher court system with wider authority.
Option B is incorrect because the parties being from the same state does not establish diversity jurisdiction. Option C is incorrect since the amount in controversy alone is insufficient to establish jurisdiction without another basis like a federal question or diversity. Option D is incorrect because the presence of both state and other issues does not provide sufficient grounds for jurisdiction transfer in this scenario.
