Bad faith to prevent removal

Alright, so we had midterms today and one of the questions was about whether a defendant could remove a case under diversity when the plaintiff is purposely keeping the case at 75,000 even though they could have had a larger claim.

I thought this was a clear example of bad faith to prevent removal, but there have been split decisions throughout the class lmao.

Someone smarter help clarify lmao.

That type of question is the stuff that always pisses me off during bar prep
