Location of injury
Section 302(a)(3)’s New York injury requirement is satisfied when the original event causing the injury occurs in New York, as when a New York bank refuses to honor a sight draft.
Incline Casualty Company v. The Corinthian Group · filed 2025-08-06(a)(3)
Here, the first effect of CCB Asia’s negligent supervision was felt when CCBNY declined to honor Plaintiffs’ sight draft upon presentment. That event, which occurred in New York where CCBNY is headquartered, triggered Plaintiffs’ reinsurance losses because it formally caused their loss of reinsurance coverage.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not permit personal jurisdiction when an out-of-state injury causes financial consequences in New York solely because the plaintiff lives there.
Marks v. Farm & Wilderness Foundation · filed 1991-01-07(a)(3)
Financial consequences felt in the state of New York solely because plaintiff resides there, flowing from injury without the state, do not meet the test under § 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires a plaintiff to show that an out-of-state tortious act caused injury in New York; an injury with no alleged New York location does not establish jurisdiction.
Merritt v. Airbus Americas, Inc. · filed 2016-08-22(a)(3)
Plaintiff does not allege that her injury occurred in any particular state, let alone New York. ... As a result, Plaintiff has not made out a prima facie case of jurisdiction pursuant to 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)'s in-state injury requirement is satisfied when an out-of-state tort allegedly causes the loss of customers in New York.
Granada Television, International, Ltd. v. Lorindy Pictures International, Inc. · filed 1984-12-06(a)(3)
It is enough they allege the loss of customers in New York. We hold that plaintiffs have satisfied the first part of section 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires injury in New York from an out-of-state tort; the plaintiff’s New York domicile or business presence alone does not establish that injury.
Sturm v. Schrank · filed 1984-10-04(a)(3)
Subparagraph (3) requires a showing that defendants’ tortious acts, committed outside New York, caused injury to a person or property within the forum state. However, an injury does not occur in New York simply because the plaintiff is domiciled or does business there.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits a threshold showing of personal jurisdiction based on an out-of-state tortious act causing direct injury in New York.
Augsbury Corp. v. Petrokey Corp. · filed 1983-12-08(a)(3)(ii)
We believe that plaintiff has made out a threshold case for jurisdiction under CPLR 302 (subd [a], par 3, cl [ii]) as some evidence of a direct injury from acts without the State are alleged. Plaintiff has alleged an out-of-State tortious act and an in-State injury.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires injury in New York; indirect economic loss there from a conversion committed elsewhere does not suffice.
Associated Trade Development, Inc. v. Condor Lines, Inc. · filed 1984-06-01(a)(3)
Applying that principle to the instant case, it is apparent that there is no basis for personal jurisdiction over Condor under CPLR § 302(a)(3). If Condor committed any act amounting to a conversion of funds belonging to plaintiff, such act was committed in Maryland where the monies collected were allegedly retained, not in New York. Indirect economic injury in New York cannot, even if proven, sustain jurisdiction.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) requires evidence that a component manufacturer knew or should have foreseen the completed product’s destination in New York.
Martinez v. American Standard · filed 1982-12-20(a)(3)(ii)
Evidence that Vitreous knew or should have foreseen the ultimate destination of the completed product is essential to satisfy the statutory requisites of CPLR 302 (subd [a], par 3, cl [ii]), and the constitutional due process requirements announced in Hanson v Denckla (357 US 235, 253, supra).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires an injury within New York; later damage suffered there from an injury sustained elsewhere does not suffice.
Diskin Ex Rel. Diskin v. Starck · filed 1982-05-06(a)(3)
Plaintiffs cannot sustain jurisdiction under § 302(a)(3) merely by showing that as domiciliaries of this state, they suffered further damage (either economic or physical), on account of the earlier injuries sustained outside the state.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction for an out-of-state tort causing injury in New York when the defendant could reasonably expect consequences there and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.
Prentice v. Demag Material Handling, Ltd. · filed 1981-02-26(a)(3)(ii)
Since appellant shipped the hoist from its plant in Canada to respondent husband’s employer in North Tonawanda, appellant must be deemed to have been aware that any tortious act it committed during the manufacture of the hoist would have forum consequences. At issue is the question whether appellant was sufficiently engaged in international commerce so as to meet the second requirement for personal jurisdiction under CPLR 302 (subd [a], par 3, cl [ii]). ... Since appellant is in sole possession of information that may refute the allegation that it engages in substantial international trade, denial of appellant’s motion at this stage of the action was proper (see Siegel, New York Practice, § 93, pp 108-109).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) permits jurisdiction over a foreign manufacturer whose business in New York satisfies paragraph (i), or whose substantial interstate revenue and reasonably foreseeable in-state consequences satisfy paragraph (ii).
Andrulonis v. United States · filed 1981-11-12(a)(3)
CPLR 302 is satisfied under both (3)(i) and (3)(ii) here. First, the Court’s holding sustaining jurisdiction over Glatt under 301’s “doing business” test a fortiori justifies jurisdiction under 302(a)(3)(i)’s identical language. ... Second, both prongs of 302(a)(3)(ii) are met. As noted above, Glatt derives two-thirds of its revenue from interstate commerce. Moreover, the Court finds that Glatt expected or reasonably should have expected any defective products to have consequences in New York.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) requires injury in New York and reasonably foreseeable New York consequences from an out-of-state tort.
Fantis Foods, Inc. v. Standard Importing Co. · filed 1980-02-14(a)(3)(ii)
It was likewise error not to dismiss the tort claim, because there was neither an injury in New York nor foreseeability of New York consequences within the meaning of CPLR 302 (subd [a], par 3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) does not confer jurisdiction solely because a non-domiciliary’s out-of-state conduct causes financial loss to a New York resident.
Harem-Christensen Corp. v. MS Frigo Harmony · filed 1979-10-03(a)(3)(ii)
Moreover, even if it were constitutionally possible for us to assume jurisdiction, the applicable New York statute does not empower us to do so. ... In the instant litigation, we find the holding of the Appellate Division in Fantis, supra, to be wholly unpersuasive.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires an injury in New York; a plaintiff’s New York domicile does not make an injury elsewhere an injury in New York.
McGowan v. Smith · filed 1979-12-21(a)(3)
Under those circumstances, jurisdiction over Mogi cannot be sustained by virtue of CPLR 302 (subd [a], par 3, els [i], [ii]). An injury does not occur in New York simply because the plaintiff is domiciled here.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires injury in New York; economic loss to a New York domiciliary from physical injury suffered elsewhere does not qualify.
Dunn v. Southern Charters, Inc. · filed 1981-01-26(a)(3)
This section affords no basis for jurisdiction in this case, however, because the physical injuries claimed were not sustained within New York but in Rhode Island’s waters. The economic loss occasioned by physical injury to a New York domiciliary outside New York is not the “injury to person or property” the statute requires.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) does not confer jurisdiction for an out-of-state conversion when foreseeability rests only on the plaintiff’s New York location and the collateral was never in New York.
Sterling National Bank & Trust Co. v. Southern Scrap Export Co. · filed 1979-03-30(a)(3)(ii)
In the present case, plaintiff has not alleged any additional facts to support foreseeability other than the mere fact that Sterling is located in New York. Further, there were no negotiations in New York and the collateral in question was never located in New York. Accordingly, the Court determines that CPLR 302(a)(3)(ii) does not provide a basis to assert jurisdiction over Southern Scrap.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires an injury that has occurred in New York; a threatened injury is insufficient.
City of New York v. New York Jets Football Club, Inc. · filed 1977-05-11(a)(3)
The cross motion by Werblin and the Authority to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is granted. Tort long-arm jurisdiction (CPLR 302, subd [a], par 3) on which the City has relied is not effective. For jurisdiction to be acquired injury must have occurred. While the complaint describes the threat of injury in this State, there is neither allegation in the complaint, nor factual showing on the motion that any injury has occurred in New York.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires the tortious injury to occur in New York; the plaintiff’s New York residence alone does not establish jurisdiction.
Corke v. Sameiet M. S. Song of Norway · filed 1977-08-11(a)(3)
An injury does not occur within New York simply because plaintiff is a resident of the state. ... The situs of the injury from neither the fall nor the alleged medical malpractice is New York. Therefore, there is no personal jurisdiction over the defendants pursuant to CPLR § 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302 permits a court to deny a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction when the plaintiff shows purposeful concerted activity directed toward New York.
Lazarow, Rettig & Sundel v. Castle Capital Corp. · filed 1978-07-20
Upon review of this record we find that Castle has made a showing of purposeful concerted activity by third-party defendants sufficient in scope to satisfy the jurisdictional requirements of CPLR 302, and sufficient in quality to warrant denial of third-party defendants’ motions to dismiss (see Peterson v Spartan Inds., 33 NY2d 463).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires a direct injury in New York; lost profits felt there only because the plaintiff is based there are insufficient.
Lehigh Valley Industries, Inc., and Lehigh Colonial Corporation, Vsv. Norman Birenbaum, and David Birenbaum · filed 1975-11-28(a)(3)
We have held that section 302(a)(3) is not satisfied by remote or consequential injuries such as lost commercial profits which occur in New York only because, the plaintiff is domiciléd or doing business here.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) requires an injury in New York and substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce for jurisdiction based on an out-of-state tort.
Security National Bank v. Ubex Corporation Ltd. · filed 1975-11-25(a)(3)(ii)
Second, while the lack of injury in New York itself precludes a finding of personal jurisdiction under CPLR § 302(a) (3) (ii), we may also note that third-party plaintiffs have failed to show that Chemical received substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) permits personal jurisdiction for an out-of-state tort causing injury in New York only if one of the standards in clauses (i) or (ii) is met.
Badger v. Lehigh Valley Railroad · filed 1974-10-31(a)(3)
Personal jurisdiction over a nondomiciliary defendant who commits a tortious act outside of the State which causes injury inside the State, as claimed by the plaintiff, cannot be secured unless the defendant meets one of the standards set forth in CPLR 302 (sub. [a], par. [3], els. [i], [ii]).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) requires evidence that the defendant could reasonably expect its out-of-state act to have consequences in New York; proximity to the border alone is insufficient.
Tracy v. Paragon Contact Lens Laboratories, Inc. · filed 1974-05-23(a)(3)(ii)
The mere proximity of Robert Packer Hospital to the New York border is not, in these circumstances, sufficient of itself to establish a reasonable expectation on defendant’s part that there might be New York consequences, unless it also appeared that defendant had some knowledge thereof.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not require a plaintiff to prove the underlying tort at a jurisdiction hearing; the defendant must have committed acts outside the state from which an adequately pleaded tort claim arises.
Evans v. Planned Parenthood of Broome County, Inc. · filed 1974-02-14(a)(3)
In our view, there is no requirement that the plaintiff prove a tortious act without the State (see 1 Weinstein-Kom-Miller, N. Y. Civ. Prac., par. 302.09). Once the requirements of CPLR 302 (subd. [a], par. 3, els. [i], [ii]) have been met, the only additional requirement is that the defendant was the author of acts without the State and that the complaint adequately frames a cause of action in tort arising from those acts.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) permits personal jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant when its allegedly infringing products cause injury in New York.
Car-Freshner Corp. v. Broadway Manufacturing Co. · filed 1971-12-03(a)(3)
Defendant’s alleged infringement and unfair competition of which plaintiffs complain is a tortious act occurring within and without the State of New York, causing injury to plaintiffs in this state. ... Defendant’s motions are accordingly denied.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not confer jurisdiction based solely on economic injury felt in New York.
HH Trinity Apex Invs. LLC v. Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, L.L.P. · filed 2022-11-10(a)(3)
Plaintiffs' reliance on the alleged extortion as a basis for CPLR 302(a)(3) jurisdiction is also misplaced, because their having felt economic injury in New York, alone, is insufficient to confer jurisdiction under [*2]that subsection.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction over a nonresident for an out-of-state tort causing in-state injury when the defendant should reasonably expect consequences in New York and derives substantial interstate or international revenue.
Archer-Vail v. LHV Precast Inc. · filed 2022-10-27(a)(3)(ii)
Turning first to the statutory requirements, we find that plaintiff submitted sufficient evidence to establish that jurisdiction comports with the requirements of CPLR 302 (a) (3) (ii).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits New York courts to exercise specific jurisdiction over a defendant when an out-of-state tort causes injury in New York, the defendant should expect consequences there, and the defendant derives substantial interstate or international revenue.
Mattheos v. JLG Industries, Inc. · filed 2022-12-01(a)(3)(ii)
The Court is thus satisfied that “RLM did more than just sell products to JLG that resulted in a tort in New York,” ECF No. 48 at 6 (emphasis added), and concludes that it has jurisdiction under C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(3)(ii).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires injury in New York; a death in Connecticut does not become a New York injury because the decedent’s estate can recover damages.
Crimi v. Elliot Bros. Trucking Co. · filed 1968-02-09(a)(3)
No matter how much one might stretch or strain Section 302(a), par. 3, the cold hard fact still remains that the actual injury caused by Demby’s alleged tort was the death of Lambert in Connecticut. Since the injury was not in New York, no jurisdiction can be exercised in this forum.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not establish personal jurisdiction for conversion when the injury occurred where the defendant acted with respect to the property, rather than in New York.
American Savings Bank, F.S.B. v. Cheshire Management Co. · filed 1988-08-18(a)(3)
Even assuming, as plaintiff argues, that Lyons was a willful conspirator in the conversion by CMC, jurisdiction under N.Y. CPLR § 302(a)(3) is not established. In cases of conversion, the injury is “deemed to occur in the place where the defendant’s acts respecting the property are committed.”Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not permit jurisdiction based on remote or consequential New York injuries that arise only because the plaintiff is domiciled, incorporated, or doing business there.
Friedr. Zoellner (New York) Corporation v. Tex Metals Company · filed 1968-06-12(a)(3)
Section 302(a) (3) is not satisfied by remote or consequential injuries which occur in New York only because the plaintiff is domiciled, incorporated or doing business in the state.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits personal jurisdiction when a defendant’s tort causes injury in New York, the defendant should reasonably expect consequences there, and it derives substantial revenue from interstate commerce.
McCrory Corporation v. Cloth World, Inc. · filed 1974-06-24(a)(3)(ii)
Defendants certainly expected or should have expected their alleged acts to have consequences in New York. And, it is uncontested that Cloth World derives substantial revenue from interstate commerce. Thus, each of the terms of N.Y. CPLR § 302(a) (3) (ii) is clearly met.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
For a claim involving lost business, § 302(a)(3) places the injury where the customers are located, rather than where the injured company is domiciled.
Sales Arm, Inc. v. Automobile Club of So. Cal. · filed 1975-10-22(a)(3)
In addition, with respect to the conspiracy count of the complaint, the claim of personal jurisdiction under N.Y. CPLR § 302(a)(3) must fail because there has been no injury suffered in New York to bring the case into New York under the statute. The place of injury, for the purposes of § 302(a)(3), is where the business is lost, i. e., where the customers are located, rather than where the injured company is domiciled.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires a plaintiff alleging a commercial tort outside New York to show that the tort caused lost business in New York.
Securities Training Corp. v. Securities Seminar, Inc. · filed 1986-03-20(a)(3)
Assuming that copyright infringement is a commercial tort, section 302(a)(3) requires the plaintiff to show injury in the form of loss of business in New York arising from the tort.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires an injury in New York; for asbestos exposure, the injury occurs where the exposure took place, even if the person later suffers from the disease in New York.
Hamilton v. Garlock, Inc. · filed 1998-12-29(a)(3)
Thus, while Hamilton may have suffered from his mesothelioma in New York or became aware of the disease in New York, his “injury” under § 302(a)(3) did not occur in New York, but in Virginia where his exposure to asbestos took place.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) governs jurisdiction for a fraudulent statement made outside New York and directed to a person in New York.
Kelly v. MD Buyline, Inc. · filed 1998-04-01(a)(3)
Consistent with this history, the courts recognize that a fraudulent statement made outside New York and directed to a person in New York is a tort committed outside the state and must be assessed under section 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) requires an injury in New York; unpaid fees do not establish one merely because payment was due to a New York resident.
Whitaker v. Fresno Telsat, Inc. · filed 1999-12-14(a)(3)(ii)
If the conspiracy to defraud is the tort, the first or “original event” is either the structuring of the partnership sale to avoid payment or the actual withholding of payment to Whitaker, both of which occurred outside New York. To confer jurisdiction according to where payment should be made would be to base jurisdiction solely upon the fact that plaintiff resides in New York.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction over an out-of-state tortfeasor whose act causes injury in New York when the defendant should expect consequences there and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.
Roberts-Gordon, LLC v. Superior Radiant Products, Ltd. · filed 2000-02-25(a)(3)(ii)
As the court has found that § 302(a)(3)(ii) permits it to exercise personal jurisdiction over Superior with respect to the alleged trademark infringement, the court next determines whether the exercise of such jurisdiction comports with due process.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)’s in-state injury requirement is satisfied when an out-of-state termination first affects employment performed in New York.
Distefano v. Carozzi North America, Inc. · filed 2001-10-18(a)(3)
In sum, we hold that since DiStefano’s employment took place in New York, the “original event which caused the injury” occurred in New York. Therefore, New York constitutes the “situs of injury” for § 302(a)(3) purposes in this case.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) does not confer personal jurisdiction based on an alleged injury in New York unless the defendant also satisfies the requirements of subsection (i) or (ii).
Melnick v. Adelson-Melnick · filed 2004-12-22(a)(3)
The contention that plaintiff has been harmed here invokes Section 302(a), subd. 3, but it fails because there is not even a suggestion that defendant meets the requirements of Section 302(a), subd.3(i) or (ii).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary whose out-of-state tort causes injury in New York when the defendant should reasonably expect consequences there and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.
High River Ltd. Partnership v. Mylan Laboratories, Inc. · filed 2005-01-27(a)(3)(ii)
Because the court finds that personal jurisdiction over Mr. Coury would be proper under § 302(a)(3), the court need not address the other provisions. ... Section 302(a)(3)(ii) provides that a court may exercise personal jurisdiction over any non-domiciliary who “commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state” if he or she “expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.”Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction for an out-of-state tort causing injury in New York when the defendant should reasonably expect consequences there and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. v. Ingenium Technologies Corp. · filed 2005-06-14(a)(3)(ii)
It is reasonably foreseeable that the provision of materials that infringe the copyrights and trademarks of a New York company will have consequences in New York, see Citigroup Inc. v. City Holding Co., 97 F.Supp.2d 549, 568 (S.D.N.Y.2000), and the defendant derives substantial revenue from international commerce. New York’s long-arm statute is therefore satisfied with respect to the federal-law claims.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires injury in New York; a plaintiff’s residence and resulting economic or emotional harm felt there do not alone establish it.
Lipin v. Bergquist · filed 2008-08-28(a)(3)
Plaintiff does not allege any injury that occurred within the state of New York within the meaning of § 302(a)(3). The only arguable basis for the existence of such an injury would be Plaintiffs residence in New York and Plaintiffs subsequent “experience” of economic and/or emotional injury in this state.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant whose out-of-state tort causes injury in New York when the defendant expected or reasonably should have expected consequences there and derives substantial interstate or international revenue.
Penguin Group (USA) Inc. v. American Buddha · filed 2010-06-15(a)(3)(ii)
It provides for jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant who "commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state, . . . if he . . . expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce . . . ." In order to establish jurisdiction under that subsection of the law, a plaintiff is thus required to demonstrate that (1) the defendant's tortious act was committed outside New York, (2) the cause of action arose from that act, (3) the tortious act caused an injury to a person or property in New York, (4) the defendant expected or should reasonably have expected that his or her action would have consequences in New York, and (5) the defendant derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3)(ii) treats injury to a New York copyright holder from unauthorized online uploading of a printed literary work as occurring in New York for personal jurisdiction purposes.
Penguin Group (USA) Inc. v. American Buddha · filed 2011-03-24(a)(3)(ii)
Thus, we conclude that the alleged injury in this case occurred in New York for purposes of CPLR 302 (a) (3) (ii).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 302(a)(3) requires an out-of-state tort to cause an initial injury in New York; a later arrest in New York does not satisfy that requirement when the initial injury occurred elsewhere.
Doe v. Delaware State Police · filed 2013-04-04(a)(3)
The issuance of the warrant was therefore the “original event” that caused any injuries that followed, and it took place in Delaware. ... Therefore, even if the allegations in the Complaint are accepted as true, Plaintiffs have not pled that Seaford PD “commit[ted] a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state,” as is required for personal jurisdiction under either subsection of § 302(a)(3).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Under § 302(a)(3)(ii), a New York copyright holder suffers an in-state injury when its printed literary work is uploaded without permission to the Internet for public access.

Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits jurisdiction when an out-of-state tort causes injury in New York, the defendant should reasonably expect consequences there, and it derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.
UTC Fire & Security Americas Corp. v. NCS Power, Inc. · filed 2012-02-10(a)(3)(ii)

In the case at bar, I conclude that plaintiff has made a sufficient showing of personal jurisdiction over defendants, both under New York’s long-arm statute and as a constitutional matter.

Plaintiffs premise jurisdiction over Brown on N.Y.

Here, the Plaintiffs admit that Marie suffered her injury in New Jersey.

In this action to enforce an alleged contract for the sale of $90 non-transferrable tickets to the Academy Awards ceremony for $5,000 per ticket, the court properly determined that it was without jurisdiction, pursuant to CPLR 302 (a) (3), over defendants Meyerkamp and Quinn Emanuel.

The conferral of jurisdiction under this provision rests on five elements: First, that defendant committed a tortious act outside the State; second, that the cause of action arises from that act; third, that the act caused injury to a person or property within the State; fourth, that defendant expected or should reasonably have expected the act to have consequences in the State; and fifth, that defendant derived substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce. ...

Section 302(a)(3)(ii)'s requirements concerning expected consequences in New York and substantial interstate or international revenue may warrant jurisdictional discovery when the evidence leaves material facts unresolved.
McDonough v. Cycling Sports Grp., Inc. · filed 2019-08-06(a)(3)(ii)
In particular, the evidence submitted by Plaintiffs and CSG, read in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, indicates that AIM worked closely with CSG to design and manufacture cycling forks, knowing that those cycling forks would be incorporated into bicycles that would be sold by CSG within the state of New York. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiffs and CSG demonstrates that AIM's products are sold worldwide, rendering it likely that AIM in fact has substantial revenues from international commerce. Significantly, in moving for summary judgment prior to any discovery having been taken, AIM has not presented any evidence regarding its revenues from which the Court could conclude that it does not derive substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce. Under these circumstances, the Court cannot find as a matter of law that the requirements of CPLR 302(a)(3)(ii) are not met.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
