Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06249
Holding The court reversed the lower court’s denial of a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, finding that the defendant’s attendance at a trade fair did not constitute purposeful activity or a substantial relationship to the breach of contract claim. The court determined that contacts occurring after the alleged breach cannot establish the defendant’s relationship with New York for jurisdictional purposes.
The court’s words
plaintiff failed to demonstrate that defendant's attendance at the Toy Fair and solicitation of business qualified as engaging in purposeful activity
