Green v. Advance Ross Electronics Corp.

2 Citing cases

  1. Allman v. McGann

    No. 02 C 7442 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 3, 2003)   Cited 10 times
    Holding that a corporation's vice president who "never lived in Illinois, never owned property in Illinois, never paid taxes in Illinois, and never [was] involved in any litigation in Illinois," and who visited Illinois only once to attend a conference, could not be subject to the court's jurisdiction for wrongs allegedly committed in Illinois by his employer

    The Illinois Supreme Court has explicitly rejected the contention that the Illinois long-arm statute applies to non-resident defendants whose only contact with Illinois is allegedly causing economic harm within the state. See R.W. Sawant Co. v. Allied Programs Corp., 489 N.E.2d 1360, 1364 (Ill. 1986) (indicating "an economic loss which is felt in Illinois is not sufficient to confer jurisdiction in our courts when the acts occurred outside of Illinois"); see also Green v. Advance Ross Electronics Corp., 408 N.E.2d 1007, 1010 (Ill.App. 1980) ("While there may ultimately have been an indirect economic impact in Illinois, we do not believe that this type of tortious consequence, without more, constitutes sufficient contact with this state."). Furthermore, whether Illinois statutory law properly grants jurisdiction is only one part of the inquiry, which at bottom must meet the requirements of federal due process.

  2. Green v. Advance Ross Electronics Corp.

    86 Ill. 2d 431 (Ill. 1981)   Cited 133 times
    Holding that a Texas defendant was not subject to Illinois long-arm jurisdiction for committing "tortious acts" in Texas that resulted in diminution of the funds of an Illinois corporation

    Green, Sr., filed a special and limited appearance to contest jurisdiction in Illinois over his person. The circuit court denied the defendants' motion to join Green, Sr., as an additional party; the appellate court affirmed ( 87 Ill. App.3d 279). This court granted leave to appeal under Rule 315 (73 Ill.2d R. 315).
