Pendent jurisdiction is a theory of whether Federal Courts have Jurisdiction to hear certain aspects of a case, concisely articulated by Justice Antonin Scalia as being "jurisdiction over nonfederal claims between parties litigating other matters properly before the court" ('' Finley V. United States '', 490 U.S. 545, 548 ). '' United Mine Workers Of America V. Gibbs '', , established the principle of pendent jurisdiction finding it clear that "judicial economy and efficiency" favored trying the actions together when concluding they arose "from a common nucleus of operative facts." |
