J. W. Sparks & Co., a Limited Partnership of New York, Plaintiff-Appellant v. John H. Gallos, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the defendant's single telephone order and related communications with a New York brokerage satisfied the constitutional minimum‑contacts test and constituted a transaction of business within New York, so New York could exercise personal jurisdiction. Accordingly, the lower court’s summary‑judgment dismissal was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings.
