The parties were in dispute arising from matters covered by an insurance policy which provided for the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts in settling any such dispute. One party obtained judgment under the laws of Louisiana, and sought to enforce it here. The court refused to do so. The parties had been entitled to an anti-suit action against the action in Louisiana. The action there could only be judged after the court here had looked at jurisdiction. The exclusive jurisdiction clause precluded the validity of the judgment.
