Richard Lebel, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Everglades Marina, Inc., Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division and held that New Jersey courts have specific personal jurisdiction over Everglades Marina because the defendant purposefully directed its activities toward the forum state through telephone and mail communications, satisfying the minimum‑contacts test, and that exercising jurisdiction does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.
