Spector Gadon Rosen Vinci P.C. Member Nancy Abrams, with the assistance of SGRV Associate Kristen Over, was successful in obtaining an order granting the motion to dismiss they filed in Kirkpatrick Price, Inc. v. Clone Systems, Inc. Her client Clone, which operates solely in Pennsylvania, had entered into a contract with Kirkpatrick, which is located in Florida, that Kirkpatrick alleged Clone had breached. Ms. Abrams argued that the contract specifically provided that all services Clone provided to Kirkpatrick were to be performed in Pennsylvania and that Clone did not do business in Florida or have sufficient contacts with Florida for the courts there to have personal jurisdiction over Clone.

After a deposition of Clone’s representative was taken, Kirkpatrick filed an Amended Complaint and Ms. Abrams filed a second motion to dismiss. The motion was fully briefed by both sides and argued by Ms. Over, after which the court agreed that it did not have jurisdiction over Clone and dismissed the case.
