In Re Khalid Meeks, as Attorney-In-Fact of Gera Meeks, Plaintiff v. Ssc Colorado Springs Colonial Columns Operating…

Summary

The court held that the trial court must apply the prescribed parent-subsidiary personal-jurisdiction framework before determining whether Colorado may exercise general or specific jurisdiction over nonresident parent companies. Because the record contained conflicting evidence concerning the corporate relationships and contacts, the trial court was required to hold an evidentiary hearing, resolve disputed jurisdictional facts, and develop the record before ruling. The court made its rule to show cause absolute and remanded for those proceedings.
