COMMON-NUCLEUS-OF-OPERATIVE-FACT TEST
common-nucleus-of-operative-fact test. The doctrine that a federal court will have pendent jurisdiction over state-law claims that arise from the same facts as the federal claims providing a basis for subject-matter jurisdiction. [Cases: Federal Courts 14.]¡°The modern doctrine of pendent jurisdiction, as announced by the Supreme Court in United Mine Workers v. Gibbs (1966), is much broader…. Pendent jurisdiction, the Court said, existed whenever ¡®the state and federal claims … derive from a common nucleus of operative fact,¡¯ and when considerations of judicial economy dictate having a single trial.¡± David P. Currie, Federal Jurisdiction in a Nutshell 106 (3d ed. 1990).
