Isabelle C. De La Bouillerie, Appellant v. Anne M. C. De Vienne, Respondents, Defendants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the trial court erred in dismissing the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction because New York courts may exercise jurisdiction over a foreign tort when either the plaintiff or the defendant is a resident of the state. The judgment was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
