Issue and result

[edit]

The case before the Supreme Court called for the resolution of important personal jurisdiction issues.


The forum state had jurisdiction over plaintiff after he was served w/ process while temporarily in the state for activities unrelated to the pending divorce action. Due process under U.S. Constitutional Amendment XIV was satisfied because nothing in the line of cases supporting the minimum contacts doctrine supported the proposition that physical presence was itself insufficient to establish jurisdiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.36.238.203 (talk) 03:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Holding

[edit]

The case limited the application to questions only of quasi in rem jurisdiction and revived the ability of the several states to assert power over individuals where the requirements under due process of minimum contacts and fair play and substantial justice tests are not met. Justice Scalia explained that this discrepancy in law has a place because it is a legal tradition. Pure territoriality is absolute in Justice Scalia's opinion.
