CPRL 301 NEW YORK COMMERCIAL DIVISION PRACTICE
Specific jurisdiction is the far more likely basis. Under CPLR 302(a)(1), one purposeful New York transaction can suffice if the claim substantially relates to that transaction, Kreutter v. McFadden Oil Corp., 71 N.Y.2d 460, 527 N.Y.S.2d 195, 522 N.E.2d 40 (N.Y. 1988); Deutsche Bank v. Mont. Bd. of Investments, 850 N.E.2d 1140, 7 N.Y.3d 65, 818 N.Y.S.2d 164 (N.Y. 2006). Physical presence in New York is not always required if the defendant purposefully projects itself into New York through negotiations, contracts, banking activity, or other deliberate commercial conduct, Wilson v. Dantas, 2015 NY Slip Op 3088, 128 A.D.3d 176, 9 N.Y.S.3d 187 (N.Y. App. Div. 2015); RBC Capital Mkts., LLC v. Garcia Hamilton & Assocs., 19 Civ. 10247 (NRB) (S.D. N.Y. Jan 22, 2021).
But the contacts must be the defendant’s own purposeful New York-directed acts. A plaintiff cannot manufacture jurisdiction by moving to New York, and routine calls or emails into New York are usually not enough unless they are part of a New York-centered transaction, Ace Decade Holdings Ltd. v. UBS AG, 2016 NY Slip Op 32415(U), Index No. 653316/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Dec 07, 2016); RBC Capital Mkts., LLC v. Garcia Hamilton & Assocs., 19 Civ. 10247 (NRB) (S.D. N.Y. Jan 22, 2021); Bluman v. Labock Tech., Inc., 2006 NY Slip Op 52335(U) (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 12/5/2006), 2006 NY Slip Op 52335, 600505/06. (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Dec 05, 2006).
En vertu de l'article 302(a)(1) du CPLR, une seule transaction effectuée intentionnellement à New York peut suffire si la demande se rapporte substantiellement à cette transaction ( Kreutter c. McFadden Oil Corp., 71 NY2d 460, 527 NYS2d 195, 522 NE2d 40 (NY 1988) ; Deutsche Bank c. Mont. Bd. of Investments, 850 NE2d 1140, 7 NY3d 65, 818 NYS2d 164 (NY 2006)) . La présence physique à New York n'est pas toujours requise si le défendeur s'y implante délibérément par le biais de négociations, de contrats, d'activités bancaires ou d'autres comportements commerciaux délibérés ( Wilson c. Dantas, 2015 NY Slip Op 3088, 128 AD3d 176, 9 NYS3d 187 (NY App. Div. 2015)) . RBC Capital Mkts., LLC c. Garcia Hamilton & Assocs., 19 Civ. 10247 (NRB) (SDNY 22 janv. 2021) .
Mais les contacts doivent être des actes délibérés et intentionnels du défendeur, effectués depuis New York. Un demandeur ne peut pas créer la compétence d'un tribunal en déménageant à New York, et les appels ou courriels de routine envoyés à New York ne suffisent généralement pas, sauf s'ils font partie d'une transaction centrée sur New York ( Ace Decade Holdings Ltd. c. UBS AG, 2016 NY Slip Op 32415(U), n° d'index 653316/2015 (NY Sup. Ct. 7 déc. 2016) ; RBC Capital Mkts., LLC c. Garcia Hamilton & Assocs., 19 Civ. 10247 (NRB) (SDNY 22 janv. 2021)) . Bluman contre Labock Tech., Inc., 2006 NY Slip Op 52335(U) (NY Sup. Ct. 12/5/2006), 2006 NY Slip Op 52335, 600505/06. (NY Sup. Ct. 5 décembre 2006) .
