TAUG (mostly) claims that Cowan recommending and utilizing Cherry Bakaert subjects them to jurisdiction in Florida.
And Bill Meyler might have gotten his knob polished in the Dominican. Stupid argument. Case law in the Federal courts says that the party bringing a suit has to have a nexis in that state. Case law also states that if a party is going to bring a suit, they have to bring it in a venue convenient for the defendant and/or where the damage took place.
I read the opposition to Cowan's Motion. TAUG would be better served to admit a mistake, dismiss the suit and if they still feel so strongly hire a NJ lawyer qualified to practice in Jersey Federal court and whale away at Cowan.
Wait a minute they should have done that in the first place. TAUG might not have much of a case, or maybe they do, but if they had filed suit in NJ in the first place they would have local press at their disposal. Everyone hates insurance companies and the insurer is the ball carrier for Cowan. The local press would swarm all over this. Too late.
