Meribear Productions, Inc. v. Frank

Summary

Justice D’Auria, joined by Justice Mullins, concurs that the contract was not a home solicitation sale and that the damages award was proper, but dissents from the majority’s determination that California had personal jurisdiction over George Frank under California’s closely related doctrine. The separate opinion would not decide jurisdiction on a theory the plaintiff had not advanced and would instead reverse the judgment against George Frank on count one if jurisdiction could not be sustained on the minimum-contacts theory litigated by the parties.
