How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating that “our jurisdictional inquiry in Utah diversity cases is reduced to a single question: did the defendants have sufficient ‘minimum contacts’ with the state of Utah to establish personal jurisdiction over them”
- “[F]iling a lawsuit and performing ordinary acts in the regular course of the legal proceedings is not abuse of process even if the goals of the lawsuit are nefarious and improper.”
- “The rationale [of Ten Mile ] was that ... jurisdiction over the representatives of a corporation may not be predicated on jurisdiction over the corporation itself.”
- “These are contacts in Utah by the defendants themselves, not . . . contacts that have been imputed to them on account of the actions of the corporation.”
