Wildberry Homeowners Assn., Inc. v. Schuffert

How courts have described this case

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

• observing that “no Illinois case has provided a definitive explanation of the differences between federal and Illinois due process”
• noting that the Illinois Constitution may provide “greater due process protections for nonresident defendants,” but neither the Illinois Supreme Court nor the Illinois appellate court has identified any substantive differences (citations omitted)
• finding no personal jurisdiction, despite evidence that the defendant shipped one allegedly infringing product to Illinois
• disregarding “a single incident conjured up by the plaintiffs’ attorney” as a basis for exercising personal jurisdiction.”
• noting “[w]e cannot simply aggregate all of a defendant’s contacts with a state—no matter how dissimilar in terms of geography, time, or substance—as evidence” that the alleged injury arises out of the defendant’s forum-related activities
• noting additionally the long-arm statute is constrained by the Illinois Constitution, but that in the absence of any argument or caselaw suggesting stronger protections under the Illinois Constitution, the inquiry could be limited to the United States Constitution
