Plain-English Summary

Section 25-417 closes out the group of sections addressing choice-of-forum agreements with a short-title provision. Sections 25-413 through 25-417 may be cited as the Model Uniform Choice of Forum Act.

A short title like this one is a convenience, not a substantive rule. It gives lawyers, judges, and litigants a single recognizable name for the group of statutes covering the definition of “state,” the enforcement of agreements choosing Nebraska as the forum, the treatment of agreements choosing another state, and the uniform-construction directive, instead of requiring a citation to each individual section every time the topic comes up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official name of sections 25-413 through 25-417?

They may be cited together as the Model Uniform Choice of Forum Act.

Does this section change any of the substantive rules in the other four sections?

No. Section 25-417 only supplies a short title for citing the group of sections; it does not alter the rules found in sections 25-413 through 25-416.

Why would a document or brief refer to “the Model Uniform Choice of Forum Act” instead of listing each section?

The short title lets a writer refer to the whole set of choice-of-forum provisions with one recognizable name rather than citing sections 25-413 through 25-416 individually every time.

Is this a Nebraska-specific act or a multistate model law?

It is Nebraska’s enactment of a model act, meaning other states may have adopted similar or identical provisions under the same or a similar name, consistent with the uniformity purpose described in section 25-416.

Does the short title include section 25-413’s definition of “state”?

Yes. The Act, as cited under this short title, spans sections 25-413 through 25-417, which includes the definitions section as well as the two operative choice-of-forum sections and the construction clause.
