George Reiner and Co., Inc., Respondent v. Arnold Schwartz, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that personal jurisdiction over Arnold Schwartz was proper under CPLR 302 because his purposeful travel to New York, interview, and execution of an employment contract constituted a single transaction of business that gave rise to the cause of action. The court rejected the Special Term's dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.
