>>>So why is Mork claiming damages in the USA for an ACT you claim he commiited in Canada. Seems to me the suit falls on Canadian grounds. Even though both parties live in the USA<<< Riley, California can probably get in personam jurisdiction over RMIL. Mork is alleging that RMIL manipulated the stock price in the US. Therefore, cause of action is in the US. To get in personam jurisdiction over RMIL in California, Mork has to prove that there is sufficient minimum contact between RMIL and California, and the exercise of jurisdiction is reasonable. RMIL probably has minimum contact with California since it's doing business there, i.e., selling clothes to department stores in California (stream of commerce). Even where defendent's activities were performed outside the state, the defendent will be subject to in personam jurisdiction for consequences in the state where he knows or reasonably anticipates that his activities could give rise to the cause of action in the forum.
