HOFFMAN v. AIR INDIA

No. 24932.

393 F.2d 507 (1968)

Larry J. HOFFMAN, as Executor of the Estate of E. W. Callaway, Deceased, and Bank of Commerce of Florida, Appellants, v. AIR INDIA, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied June 18, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert Orseck, Aaron Podhurst, Miami, Fla., for appellants.

Jackson L. Peters, Cecyl L. Pickle, A. Lee Bradford, Miami, Fla. (Boeing Co.), for appellee.

Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and JONES and CLAYTON, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM:

The District Judge dismissed Appellants suits (filed January 1967) against Air India for lack of jurisdiction over the person of that foreign corporation. The sole question presented is whether Florida's long arm statute, F.S.A. §§ 47.16, 47.17, 47.171, and especially § 47.17(4),1 is long enough to subject Air India to suit in Florida on a claim which did not arise in any way out of Florida activities.
