Douglas Kemper (Of Counsel-Louisville, KY) and Estee Rose (Associate-Louisville, KY) secured dismissal in the Jefferson County Circuit Court on behalf of Wilson Elser’s client, a Missouri hotel management company, in a personal injury action. The plaintiff allegedly sustained injuries caused by bed bugs at a hotel managed by our client in Adel, Georgia. The plaintiff, a Kentucky resident, sought to establish jurisdiction in Jefferson County Circuit Court based on his allegation that he booked the room through Priceline.com while physically located in Kentucky. Doug and Estee moved to dismiss, and the court granted their motion, finding that a single internet transaction through a third-party booking platform did not constitute purposeful availment of Kentucky's jurisdiction, and that a Missouri corporation with no employees, property, marketing, or business operations in Kentucky lacked sufficient minimum contacts with the Commonwealth.
