A brand x auto dealership in toronto ontario canada sold a


Question: A Brand X auto dealership in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, sold a new Brand X automobile (manufactured in Germany) to Mr. Y in Toronto. A year later, Mr. Y and his family decided to move to Mexico. As they drove through the state of Oklahoma in the United States, they were involved in an automobile accident. Mr. and Mrs. Y and his children were severely injured. They claim that their injuries are due to a defect in the Brand X automobile. They have brought a product liability suit in an Oklahoma state court against the German manufacturer of the automobile and the regional distributor of Brand X automobiles in eastern Canada, even though Brand X automobiles are not sold or serviced in Oklahoma. Both defendants ask to have the suit against them dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction. The case is assigned to your court for a decision. Should the case be dismissed? Explain.
