Hannon v. Beard

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that it was reasonable for Pennsylvania defendant to appear in Massachusetts
• noting that the court may consider certain materials extrinsic to the pleadings in evaluating a motion to dismiss based on personal jurisdiction grounds
• stating that insubstantial contact with Massachusetts can be sufficient because “less is required to support jurisdiction when the cause of action arises from the defendant’s contacts with the forum ... than when it does not”
• \The purposeful availment requirement ... is based upon the cornerstones of voluntariness and foreseeability.\ (quotation marks omitted)
• “Where, as here, parties of substantial means are involved, cross- country travel ordinarily does not qualify as a special or unusual burden.”
• “The plaintiff bears the burden of proving the court’s personal jurisdiction over a defendant.”
