Mcguire Holdings Ltd. v. Betfred Int'L Holdings, Ltd.

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of McGuire Holdings' contract action because McGuire failed to make a prima facie showing that Nevada could exercise personal jurisdiction over Betfred. The parties' single meeting in Nevada was not expressly aimed at Nevada, and McGuire did not establish a basis to impute Betfred's subsidiaries' Nevada contacts to Betfred. The court also held that dismissal for lack of jurisdiction was not reversible merely because the district court described it as being with prejudice.
