Meribear Productions, Inc. v. Frank

Summary

The court upheld enforcement in Connecticut of the California default judgment against George Frank because his close involvement with the agreement and receipt of its benefits made it foreseeable that he would be bound by the agreement's California forum-selection clause. It also held that the home-staging agreement fell within the Home Solicitation Sales Act's real-property exception and that the damages awards did not create an impermissible double recovery because the loss remained unsatisfied and the awards were subject to reduction upon payment. The court further upheld the inventory-loss damages against Joan Frank as a reasonably foreseeable consequence of her breach.
