- [2029983-015](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2029983-015) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Geographic tests create the risk of a no man's land transaction: defendants may persuade the courts of every jurisdiction that the transaction took place outside their borders, leaving the transaction governed by no law and with no available forum.
  > Alternatively, defendants might successfully persuade courts in all jurisdictions that a transaction took place outside their borders or for some other reason outside their jurisdictions. Such a "no man's land" transaction would be governed by no law and there would be no forum.

- [2029983-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2029983-037) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- A contract selecting non-U.S. securities law can fail entirely: if the chosen jurisdiction's courts decline jurisdiction because the transaction did not clear there or the parties lack a local presence, the contract may as a practical matter mean that no law applies.
  > If so, the contract to apply non- U.S. law might as a practical matter mean that no law applies.
