Passive v. Interactive Web sites: What Level of "Interactivity" is Sufficient to Establish Personal Jurisdiction? |
August 15, 2005
Previously published on October 1, 2004
On September 2, 2004, in Jennings v. AC Hydraulic A/S, 2004 U.S. App. LEXIS 18683 (7th Cir.
2004), a unanimous panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in Jennings v. Stertil-Koni,
2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8490 (S.D. Ind. March 31, 2003), which had dismissed the case for lack
of personal jurisdiction, finding that the operation of a passive Web site does not constitute
the "minimum contacts" needed for the court to exercise jurisdiction over a foreign
manufacturer.
