Business Court Reaffirms Bright-Line Rule: Pre-September 1, 2024 Cases Cannot Be Removed

In Seter v. Westdale Asset Management, Judge Bouressa granted remand of a case removed from Dallas County Court at Law, holding that the Business Court lacks jurisdiction over actions commenced before September 1, 2024. The decision marks the seventh remand order applying the statutory effective date as a jurisdictional bar, with the court expressly rejecting defendants' arguments that the prior six remand decisions were wrongly decided.
