Avdel Corporation, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Elmer Mecure, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that New Jersey's long‑arm statute, limited only by the Due Process Clause, permits service of process on a New York resident who entered into a contract for rivets that had substantial effects in New Jersey. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for trial, finding the defendant's contacts sufficient to satisfy minimum‑contacts fairness requirements.
