New York Court of Appeals
Richard H. Ingraham v. James Carroll Et…
October 21, 199790 N.Y.2d 592
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the wrongful‑death action for lack of personal jurisdiction over Dr. Frederick Loy, holding that the plaintiff failed to satisfy either clause (i) or the second prong of clause (ii) of CPLR 302(a)(3). The Court reasoned that Loy neither regularly conducted business in New York nor derived substantial revenue from interstate commerce, and a dissent argued the opposite.
