Froogle V. Mary Ccp 410.10
Relevant Facts
Our Client, Froogle (“Froogle”) has retained our firm to file suit againt Mary, a small manufacturer and retailer of downhill snow skis. Froogle and Mary signed an agreement in January of 2012. On or about March 15, 2012 Froogle discovered that Mary had breached several of the terms of their agreement. We filed suit in Superior Court for the County of Monterey in Salinas, California on behalf of Froogle on May 31,2012. Mary, a resident of Vermont, responded by filing a motion for non-conveniens claiming that because her business and residence are in Vermont, California has no jurisdiction over her. Mary violated the terms of her agreement and should be brought to answer for her actions in a California court of law, as Froogle’s main place of business is Salinas, California.

Issue Presented
The issue is whether or not Froogle has jurisdiction over Mary who is an out of state resident and business owner.
Applicable Law
Under the California Code of Civil Procedure “A court of this state may exercise jurisdiction on any basis not inconsistent with the Constitution of this state or of the United States.” CCP §410.10 Also known as California’s “Long Arm Statue” the law provides that the use is usually constitutional “where the defendant has certain minimum contacts with the forum state and there has been reasonable notice of the action against him or her.” (Cite)
Additionally, under the ruling “Any person may maintain an action or proceeding in a court of this state against a foreign corporation or nonresident person where the action or proceeding arises out of or relates to any contract, agreement, or undertaking for which a choice of California law has been made in whole or in part by the parties thereto and which (a) is a contract, agreement, or undertaking, contingent or otherwise, relating to a transaction involving in the aggregate not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), and (b) contains a provision or provisions under which the

    Since 1945, technology has advanced to such a degree that it is possible for sellers to reach consumers in their homes worldwide. The onset of the Internet has created a lapse between the method of doing business in 1945 and the legal system's ability to keep up with technology. The "purposeful availment" requirement for the exercise of personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant ensures that it will not be haled into a jurisdiction solely as a result of a random, fortuitous, or attenuated contact, or by the unilateral activity of another party or a third person. In Quality Design, the court ruled that Tuff Coat's website was a passive one, whereby information about its product was provided, but actual sales were arranged via telephone or mail.

    1. A business fails to meet the criteria if its practices are not equal and if has procedures unrelated to necessary job functions in the organization. In the case of McDonnell Douglas vs Green the Supreme Court holds that a charging party can prove unlawful discrimination indirectly by showing a failure in the organizational business process. In this case the hiring and firing of an employee, McDonnell Douglas was taken to court over their unethical tactics. The charging party has to only prove four things: they are a minority (protected group), they applied and were qualified for the position, the job was not offered to them, and the employer continued to seek applicants with similar qualifications. If the plaintiff can prove these four elements, the employer must show a legitimate lawful reason why the person was not hired.…

    In 1991 about 10,000 Exxon dealers sued Exxon Corporation in federal court, alleging that the corporation had engaged in an extensive scheme to overcharge them for fuel. A jury found in favor of the plaintiffs, but the District Court judge certified the case for review on the question of supplemental jurisdiction. Some of the multiple plaintiffs in the case had claims that did not meet the minimum amount necessary to qualify for federal diversity jurisdiction (currently $75,000). In 1990 Congress had enacted 28 U.S.C. Section 1367, overturning Finley v. United States, which had narrowly interpreted federal courts' power to confer supplementary jurisdiction on related claims. The question for the District Court was whether Section 1367 also overturned Zahn v. International Paper Co., which ruled that each plaintiff had to separately meet the minimum amount-in-controversy requirement. The District Court accepted the plaintiffs' argument that Section 1367 gave federal courts power to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over plaintiffs with related claims, even if some plaintiffs' claims did not meet the required amount. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the District Court's ruling on supplemental jurisdiction. However, this ruling conflicted with the ruling of another Circuit, which had taken the opposite view of Section 1367's scope (see Ortega v. Star-Kist Foods, No. 04-79). The Supreme Court granted certiorari and consolidated the cases for argument.…

    LEXIS 287, ***11; CCH Prod. Liab. Rep. P15,893 the [***12] Court of Appeals. n5 n5 Four months after filing its notice of appeal, Mortenson moved to vacate the trial court judgment and amend its pleadings to include tort claims. The trial court denied these motions and the Court of Appeals affirmed. M.A. Mortenson Co., 93 Wn. App. at 837--39. While Mortenson argues in its supplemental briefing that the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court's denial of these motions, it fails to include this issue in its petition for review. As such, we decline to reach it. RAP 13.7(b). The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court and held (1) the purchase order was not an integrated contract; (2) the license terms were part of the contract; and (3) the limitation of remedies clause was not unconscionable and, therefore, enforceable. M.A. Mortenson Co. v. Timberline Software Corp., 93 Wn. App. 819, 826--37, 970 P.2d 803 (1999). Mortenson petitioned this court for review, which we granted.

    The Superior Court ruled that the appeal should be allowed, and that this evidence should be considered inadmissible since the accused chose not to make any statements - he was practicing his right to remain silent. The police violated his right under s. 7 of the Charter by tricking him into opposing his decision, which then made the trial unjust. An undercover police officer must serve the purpose of observation of suspects, rather than actively drawing out evidence or information in violation of the person’s right to remain silent. Seeing as the statements were the only piece of evidence the Crown had in order to be able to prove the individual guilty, it’s evident that under the current conditions, it’s the admission of the evidence rather…

    A foreign judgment may operate as res judicata except in the six cases specified in the section 13 and subject to the other conditions mentioned in Sec. 11 of C.P.C. The rules laid down in this section are rules of substantive law and not merely of procedure. The fact that the foreign judgment may fail to show that every separate issue, such as, the status of the contracting parties, or the measure of damages, was separately framed and decided, is irrelevant unless it can be shown that failure brings the case within the purview of one of the exceptions to Section 13.…

    The sufficiency of effects doctrine is also contested. Under US legal system, the federal courts have jurisdiction over a defendant corporation if the corporation is incorporated or has its principal place of business in the state where the federal court sits. A court has general jurisdiction over a resident corporation if the corporation’s contacts with the forum state are “continuous and systematic”. In the case of United States v Nippon Paper , the Supreme Court repeated that jurisdiction can be exercised over ‘foreign conduct that was meant to produce and did in fact produce some substantial effect in the United States’. With regard to jurisdiction over foreign anti-trust defendants, the locus classicus in the US is Hartford Fire Insurance Co. case , wherein a number of states and a private plaintiff sued the defendant companies, alleging that the insurance companies had violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act by conspiring to restrict the terms of coverage of commercial general liability insurance available in the United States. The court also clarified that “international comity” is…
