Juan Dalmau Rodriguez v. Hughes Aircraft Company

How courts have described this case

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

• rejecting jurisdiction over a supplier on a products liability claim based on defendant’s submission of a bid into the forum state
• calling officers’ intentions to arrest “relevant only to the extent 12 that they were communicated to the defendants”
• finding that “the single advertisement” of the defendant’s product in a magazine the plaintiff received in the forum was “not the type of transaction that could reasonably lead a manufacturer to believe would be the basis for haling him into” the forum
• noting defamation by implication can occur where “[a] 12 combination of individual statements which in themselves may not be 13 defamatory might lead the reader to draw an inference that is damaging to the 14 plaintiff”
• “Since Chang’s opinion of Kupau’s state of mind would have 14 constituted speculation, the judge did not plainly err in excluding it.”
• mere placement of advertisement in trade magazine did not suggest that defendant had aimed advertising at Puerto Rico
