Jin Park and Michael Bai in concert with our local counsel Tracy Tomlin of Nelson Mullins in North Carolina appealed a trial court's denial of our clients' motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Our clients, alleged to be component part suppliers to vinyl siding, moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction since all of the alleged transactions occurred in the Republic of Korea and since all unrelated contacts with the State of North Carolina occurred after the alleged loss and after the complaint was filed. The trial court denied our clients' motions. On appeal, the North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's order and remanded the case with orders to dismiss our clients for lack of personal jurisdiction.
