Description
These suits to enforce an indemnity agreement began in the circuit court of Polk County, Florida, and were properly removed by the defendant to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a), (b). Once there, the plaintiffs moved the district court to remand the cases to the circuit court on the ground that the indemnity agreements forum-selection clause required that the controversies be litigated in that court. The district court, concluding that the forum-selection clause should be enforced, remanded the cases to the circuit court. The defendant appeals, contending that the forum-selection clause is "permissive" rather than "mandatory"-meaning that it simply allowed, but did not require, the parties to litigate in the circuit court of Polk County. We affirm.
