Hain Celestial Group, Inc. v. Palmquist · ¶26

This Court reversed. It held that, because Whayne had been fully dismissed, “the jurisdictional defect [had been] cured, i. e., complete diversity [had been] established before the trial commenced.” Id., at 73. Because “considerations of finality, efficiency, and economy become overwhelming” after “a diversity case has been tried in federal court,” the Court held that the verdict could stand despite the District Court's “statutory misstep” in denying the motion to remand. Id., at 73, 75, 77. On the other hand, the Court stated, had the jurisdictional defect not been cured and instead “lingered through judgment,” then vacatur would have been required. Id., at 76–77.
