Contacts are not always contacts

Originally published by David Coale.

“Sharing liability is not the same as sharing an identity. As our colleagues in the Ninth Circuit explained, ‘Liability and jurisdiction are independent. . . . Regardless of their joint liability, jurisdiction over each defendant must be established individually.’  Lumping defendants together for jurisdictional purposes merely because they are solidary obligors ‘is plainly unconstitutional.’” Libersat v. Sundance Energy, No. 20-30121 (Oct. 26, 2020) (citation omitted, emphasis added).
