Question

Miles is floating happily on a rubber raft in his swimming pool in New Jersey when the raft busts and cuts his eye. His doctor says he will need corrective surgery and may never fully regain his eyesight in the damaged eye. Miles learns that the raft was manufactured in Louisiana by Intack Inc., a company headquartered in New Mexico. Miles bought the raft from a Kidz Toyz store, a chain of stores in New Jersey that sells many Intack products. Miles sues Intack in a New Jersey federal court for $100,000. Intack files a motion to have the case moved to federal court in New Mexico, saying that New Jersey lacks jurisdiction over the case. Is Intack correct?

Answer 1

Answer:d. Probably not. Intack does a significant amount of business in New Jersey and can reasonably expect to be sued there.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the business operates in that city or state it is always easy to have the case dealt with there where they have their businesses running. It may be easy to gather more evidence and any proof needed to guide that case.
