Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
A Vermont plaintiff filed suit in federal district court against a Delaware corporation, alleging breach of contract and seeking $60,000 in damages. The corporation moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, arguing that the plaintiff had failed to establish the amount in controversy. During discovery, the plaintiff's own emails revealed that he privately estimated his actual losses at only $52,000, though he pleaded $60,000 in his complaint. Should the court grant the motion to dismiss? A. Yes, because internal documents showing actual damages below $75,000 defeat diversity jurisdiction. B. No, because dismissal is proper only when it is legally certain that the plaintiff cannot recover the amount pleaded. C. Yes, because a plaintiff cannot recover more than his own good-faith estimate of damages. D. No, because diversity jurisdiction is assessed at the time the complaint is filed and cannot be divested by subsequent discovery.
