Summary
The Fifth District Court of Appeal of Florida reverses a final judgment against a Connecticut resident because the record did not establish sufficient minimum contacts with Florida to support personal jurisdiction. The court remands with instructions to dismiss the case for lack of personal jurisdiction.
Holdings
- The record did not establish sufficient facts showing that Suleymanov engaged in substantial and not isolated activities in Florida or otherwise had sufficient minimum contacts with Florida to permit the trial court to exercise personal jurisdiction over him.
Questions Presented
- Whether the Florida trial court had personal jurisdiction over Suleymanov, a Connecticut resident, under Florida's long-arm statute and the constitutional minimum-contacts requirement.
