After the limited partnership suffered financial setbacks in consequence of unsuccessful investments, Appellants initiated this litigation.
The District Court granted Appellee's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over the defendant under both the i transaction of business and ii tortious activity subsections of the Georgia long-arm statute. We need not reach the question of whether Cash transacted any business within the scope of the long-arm statute and the due process clause since with deference to the expertise of the district Court, 6 we find that Thorington has carried his burden of establishing personal jurisdiction over Cash under subsection b -- the tortious act provision.
Under the circumstances, a brief history of the tortious activity provisions of the Georgia long-arm statute is in order. Smith, , Ga. Gold Agency, Inc. Presumably in response to this decision, the Georgia legislature enacted subsection c which provides jurisdiction over a non-resident who. Wood-Mosaic Corp.
It held that subsection c was inapplicable since it was not intended to have retroactive effect. The Court of Appeals further reaffirmed its earlier holdings that subsection b did not cover extraterritorial tortious conduct causing injury in Georgia. The Supreme Court of Georgia granted certiorari. The Supreme Court while taking note of the Court of Appeals holding on the non-retroactivity of subsection c , did not purport to pass on that issue.
Instead it reversed the lower court's construction of subsection b expressly adopting the Illinois rule of Gray v.
American Radiator Corp. Miller, 11 Ill. Since the conduct here in issue occurred during , the parties rely solely on subsection b.
The District Court recognized that 'fraud and deceit in the inducement to contract are clearly torts and plaintiff has alleged tha tdefendant committed such acts. That goes only to remedy, and dismissal because of the prayer for relief cuts off a plaintiff in a non-default situation from getting whatever relief the facts entitled him to.
That is precisely what Thorington has alleged happened here. Both in Georgia 10 and elsewhere 11 for purposes of due process, a non-resident who sends a defective product into the forum state or for that matter who simply places the product in the stream of commerce with reason to anticipate that it may find its way into the forum state may well be amendable to service of process if as a matter of state policy the applicable long-arm statute undertakes to go that far.
We see no reason why the same principle is not equally applicable when a non-resident sends material misrepresentations into the forum state with the intention that they be relied upon and where they are in fact relied upon by a resident of the forum state to his detriment.
Unlike many of the stream of commerce products liability cases in which the non-resident defendant merely had reason to anticipate that the product would enter the forum state, Cash, in a complaint that fully meets F. Although in our Erie quest our sights are on Georgia alone, we think the Georgia would agree with the analysis of the First Circuit in Murphy v. Erwin-Wasy, Inc. We would be closing our eyes to the realities of modern business practices wer we to hold that a corporation subjects itself to the jurisdiction of another state by sending a personal messenger into that state bearing a fraudulent misrepresentation but not when it follows the more ordinary course of employing the United States Postal Service as its messenger.
