Supreme Court of Florida
State Ex Rel. Guardian Credit Indemnity Corp. v. Harrison
July 23, 19541954 Fla. LEXIS 1126
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the lower court's denial of Guardian Credit Indemnity Corp.'s motion to quash service, holding that the corporation's activities in Florida constituted a business venture within the state for purposes of substituted service under F.S. Sec. 47.16. The Court applied the modern minimum‑contacts analysis derived from International Shoe and Travelers Health, rejecting the older "mere solicitation" rule.
