How later courts describe this case
- “if any connection [corporate officer] had with the commission of the tort occurred without the forum state ... under sound due process principles, the nexus ... is too tenuous to support jurisdiction”
- “If Corporation A from State X sends Employee B into State Y to [commit a tortious act], injuring Resident C in State Y, then jurisdiction over both A and B exists in State Y.”
