Scott C. Savin v. Harry H. Ranier

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “simply receiving financing” from a forum resident does not “automatically establish sufficient minimum contacts” with that forum (internal quotation marks omitted)
• reviewing, on appeal from default judgment, 3 the merits of appearing defendant's jurisdictional defense, where 4 plaintiff did not claim that defendant had forfeited that defense 5 by defaulting
• noting New York courts “have declined to exercise jurisdiction where the only contact maintained by the defendant with the forum state was that New York was designated as the site for payment on a promissory note”
• Kentucky defendant's execution of promissory note as part of New York syndication with payments to Connecticut plaintiff insufficient to confer jurisdiction in this state
• defendant obtaining financing for New York business from Connecticut resident with note payable in Connecticut does not amount to defendant transacting business in Connecticut under Connecticut's long-arm statute.
• defendant received financing from, and conducted other business dealings with, the Connecticut plaintiff; additionally, the defendant was to make payments in Connecticut; this did not satisfy the \transacting business\ or \minimu contacts\ standards
