Description
In this coordinated proceeding, the trial court concluded that it lacked personal jurisdiction over four nonresident foreign defendants: Honda Motors Co., Ltd. of Japan (Honda), Volkswagen AG of Germany (Volkswagen), Nissan Motor Ltd. of Japan (Nissan) and the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) of Canada. As such, it granted motions to quash service of summons brought by each of these defendants. The plaintiffs appeal, contending that the three parent manufacturers (1) are subject to the specific jurisdiction of California courts under the stream of commerce doctrine and (2) to this states general jurisdiction under the representative services doctrine. They also argue that (3) the trial court had specific jurisdiction over the trade association pursuant to the effects test and (4) because CADA furthered a conspiracy while present in this state. The plaintiffs also contend that (5) for California courts to exercise jurisdiction over these four nonresident defendants would be consistent with fair play and substantial justice. Alternatively, they reason that (6) the trial court erred when it denied them a continuance to conduct further jurisdictional discovery against the three parent manufacturers. For their part, Honda and Volkswagen (7) ask us to take judicial notice of certain documents. We deny the requests for judicial notice and conclude that our long-arm statute does not reach the four nonresident defendants before us on appeal. Thus, we affirm the trial courts order granting their motions to quash service of summons.
