Question

Juicer's Secret, Inc., a Maine corporation, makes and sells weight gain and muscle building supplements. Tom, a resident of New York, sees an ad for Juicer's Secret in a local New York newspaper and buys some of the supplements at a health club in in the city that carries the product. Tom suffers internal injuries which he believes were caused by the supplements. He files a product liability lawsuit against Juicer's Secret suit in a New York state court. Juicer's Secret asks the court to dismiss the suit on the grounds that the court does not have personal jurisdiction over Juicer's Secret. What is the court most likely to rule and why?

Answer 1

The case will be dismissed by the court

Step-by-step explanation:

The New York state court does not have personal jurisdiction over Juicer's Secret since the corporation is located in Maine. The defendant, in this case Juicer's Secret, has the right to ask the New York court to dismiss the suit, as the corporation is not based in New York city. The universal rule is that the courts in a state have personal jurisdiction over all people or businesses that are citizens of or do business in that state. In this case, it is clear that the court to which the suit has been filed does not have personal jurisdiction. Another way to call personal jurisdiction is "in personam jurisdiction".
