Suit on Maryland projects must be brought in D.C.

The United States District Court for the District of Maryland ruled that a subcontractor, who brought a Maryland case as a result of performing work on a project located in the State of Maryland, would instead be forced to bring that case in the District of Columbia. This was because the project was performed for the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority and the contract dispute arising from that is governed by the District of Columbia’s Little Miller Act.
