Pаul аnd Pаula Prentice brоught a prоducts liability actiоn against both NoWing, Incorporated (“NoWing”) and Dipeco, Ltd. (“Dipeco”), alleging physical, mental, and emotional injuries as a result of an inflight incident. Paul and Paula, New York residents, endured a near-death experience while on a flight from New York to Argentina caused by a defective First-Officer’s seat (the “Subject Seat”) designed and manufactured by Dipeco. October 3, 2021, American Airlines Flight 123 departed JFK International Airport in New York bound for Buenos Aires, Argentina. Just over 100 miles north of Buenos Aires, the plane experienced a sudden negative g-force descent, causing passengers and crewmembers to hit the cabin ceiling as well as other inflight disorder. The pilots were eventually able to overcome the emergency and safely land the plane in Buenos Aires. Paul and Paula allege this unexpected descent occurred because a switch on the Subject Seat caused it to be moved into the full-forward position leading to an inadvertent disengagement of the plane’s autopilot function. Paul and Paula further allege that design and manufacturing defects with the Subject Seat and its components caused this unsafe condition. The subject plane was a NoWing 777-200, manufactured by NoWing at its headquarters, principal place of business, and manufacturing facility in Everett, Washington. The Subject Seat was designed and manufactured by Dipeco at its facilities in Manchester, England, the location of its headquarters and sole manufacturing plant. Post-production, Dipeco is alleged to have shipped the seat to NoWing to its plant in Everett, Washington. NoWing installed the subject seat during the manufacturing of the subject airplane sold to American Airlines. Dipeco has been a manufacturer of passenger seats used in commercial airplanes since 2003. Between 2015 and 2020, Dipeco manufactured and sold approximately 100,000 seats which were shipped to and used in the United States. Dipeco’s latest marketing and informational brochure has an illustration of its world-wide marketing web, including an arrow pointing from the United Kingdom to the United States. Also, since 2003, Dipeco has operated a website. The Dipeco website, like its marketing brochure, states that it is “one of the largest seat manufacturers in the world,” and that it “exports its product world-wide, including to the United States.” In addition, the site states that it “sells and ships all new and replacement Flight Deck Seats for use on commercial aircraft directly to your company.” The site also states that Dipeco can manufacture seats that comply with any country’s applicable safety standards. The website does not allow for online purchase of Dipeco’s seats, nor does it provide access to online communications with Dipeco. Dipeco’s contractual relationship with NoWing began less than 3 years ago, in 2020, when it entered into a contract for the purchase of airplane seats with Dipeco. During the course of the business relationship between NoWing and Dipeco, Vice President Marcus Johnson of NoWing and Vice President Margaret Davies of Dipeco were the respective primary points of contact. Since 2010, Mr. Johnson communicated on behalf of NoWing with Ms. Davies both over the telephone and in person in Manchester regarding the possibility of formalizing the business relationship. On November 1, 2020, Mr. Johnson, on behalf of NoWing, traveled to Manchester and met with Dipeco representatives. During his visit with Dipeco, Mr. Johnson expressed interest in Dipeco’s seats, but wanted to have a sample seat delivered to Everett so that NoWing’s engineers could inspect it. Dipeco arranged delivery and transport of a sample seat to Everett. After receiving and inspecting the sample seat, Mr. Johnson returned to Manchester on November 15, 2020 where he negotiated a contract with Dipeco for the sale of Dipeco seats—of which the Subject Seat was one—for installation in NoWing’s planes at its Everett facility. The contract provided that Dipeco would manufacture and sell to NoWing 10,000 seats at the price of $60,716,000.00. These were the only Dipeco seats sold to any Washington State entity. Under the contract between NoWing and Dipeco, all disputes were to be settled by negotiation, and if not, then submitted to the Foreign Trade Arbitration Commission of the Council for the Promotion of International Trade (“FTAC”). On November 20, 2020, after Mr. Perry’s trip to Manchester, he reported to NoWing that samples of Dipeco’s product would be sent from Manchester, and Ms. Davies had told him “that a lot of American companies have made inquiries, but I was the first to show enough interest to make the trip. If we continue this size of purchases or increase the volume, they will make us the USA representative.” The Dipeco-generated invoice indicated that the seats, including the Subject Seat, were to be shipped to NoWing’s Everett facility, and lists the method of shipment. The invoice shows that Dipeco billed NoWing at an address in Seattle and shipped the seats to Everett. However, Dipeco contends that it only made the Subject Seat available to NoWing for pickup at Dipeco’s facilities in Liverpool, England, and shipment of the Subject Seat from the United Kingdom to NoWing’s facilities in Everett was arranged by NoWing pursuant to NoWing’s shipping instructions and NoWing’s choice of mode of transportation and transportation service. Despite the Contract with NoWing, Dipeco (1) lacks any physical presence in Washington: (2) manufactures seats exclusively in Great Britain; (3) has never manufactured products in Washington; (4) has never performed services in Washington; (5) does not have offices and does not own or lease real or personal property in Washington; (6) does not maintain any bank account in Washington; (7) has never appointed an agent to accept service of process in Washington; (8) has never paid taxes or incurred tax liability in Washington; (9) is not registered to do business in Washington; (10) has never been incorporated in Washington; (11) has never maintained any corporate books or records in Washington; (12) does not have a mailing address or telephone number in Washington; (13) does not have officers, directors, employees or agents in Washington, and none maintain a residence or place of business in Washington; and (14) None of Dipeco’s officers, directors, employees, or agents have visited Washington for business purposes. In May, 2022, Paul and Paula initially filed their Complaint in the Eastern District of New York against NoWing and Dipeco. They chose New York because NoWing has offices in the state, the flight had departed from New York, they reside there, and Paul and Paula Prentice believed, incorrectly, that Dipeco had shipped the Subject Seat to New York. On June 6, 2022, Dipeco filed an Answer to the Complaint, which included a statement that personal jurisdiction was improper. NoWing filed a Motion to Dismiss. At the hearing on NoWing’s Motion to Dismiss, Dipeco’s attorney stated “We shouldn’t be in the Eastern District of New York when we told the Plaintiffs that the seats went directly to Washington from Liverpool. We told them that Washington was an appropriate jurisdiction.” The Judge, The Honorable Charles E. Fleming, ordered jurisdictional discovery. After the parties exchanged information, Paul and Paula learned that the Subject Seat had indeed shipped to Washington from Liverpool. Before Judge Fleming ruled on NoWing’s Motion to Dismiss, Paul and Paula withdrew their Complaint, and refiled it in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. LONG ARM STATUTE The Washington long-arm statute provides, in relevant part: Washington Code Ann. §101.5A. A court may exercise personal jurisdiction over a person, who acts directly or by an agent, as to a cause of action arising from the person’s: Causing tortious injury by an act or omission in Washington State; or *** Causing tortious injury in this Commonwealth by an act or omission outside this Commonwealth if that person regularly does or solicits business, or engages in any other persistent course of conduct, or derives substantial revenue from goods used or consumed or services rendered, in Washington State. “Person,” as used in this statute, includes corporations. THE QUESTION (Word Limit: 1500) Dipeco has filed a Motion to Dismiss the action for lack of personal jurisdiction in the Western District of Washington. What arguments in favor of personal jurisdiction as to Dipeco in the Western District of Washington should Paul and Paula make? How will the Court respond to each of those arguments? Give the Court’s reasoning.
