We first reported on the Remington v. J.B. Hunt, Inc. case last year in Flash No. 46. Based on the First Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Massachusetts Delivery Ass’n v. Coakley, 769 F.3d 11 (1st Cir. 2014) (“MDA”), District of Massachusetts Judge Stearns dismissed the complaint on the grounds that the claims under the Massachusetts Independent Contractor Law were preempted by the Federal Aviation and Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (“FAAAA”). On appeal, the First Circuit issued an opinion affirming, in part, and reversing, in part, Judge Stearns’ decision, sending the case back to Judge Stearns for further proceedings (Flash No. 53).
