 However, in addition to the outcome-determinative test of York the federal courts should consider any countervailing federal policies.In this case, following the state practice would disrupt the federal system of allocating functions between judges and juries and go against "the influence - if not the command - of the Seventh Amendment" (that guarantees the right of a trial by jury in suits at common law).Thus the Court found that the possibility of a different outcome was less important than perverting the judge-jury function allocations in the American federal system.
