28. To perhaps help you narrow this -

I had heard earlier and confirmed in the actual suit, that although this trial was to take place in DE (because both Dominion LLC and the Faux LLC are registered in that "no tax" state), they were going to use NY tort law for the prosecution - https://casetext.com/case/us-dominion-inc-v-fox-news-network-llc-1/

A. The parties

Plaintiff U.S. Dominion, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Colorado. Plaintiff Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Colorado. Plaintiff Dominion Voting Systems Corporation is an Ontario corporation with its principal place of business in Ontario. Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation are wholly owned subsidiaries of U.S. Dominion, Inc.

Defendant Fox is a Delaware LLC with its principal place of business in New York. Fox operates the Fox news Channel, the Fox Business Channel, Fox News Radio, and Fox News Digital, which it refers to collectively as "Fox News Media."


and

The Court entered an order holding that New York tort law applied on April 27, 2021.


Apparently there was some discussion which laws to use for what and I *think* for "procedural" things, they used DE law but for the meat of the case, they reference NY law.
