Question: Kevin downloaded a defective software program over the Internet from Palm Tree Software Corporation (Palmtree). Kevin lived in Calgary and wishes to sue Palmtree. Palmtree

Kevin downloaded a defective software program over the Internet from Palm Tree Software Corporation (Palmtree). Kevin lived in Calgary and wishes to sue Palmtree. Palmtree was located in California. Read each of the following and determine which one is true.

If Palmtree has its server in California, then the Canadian court has jurisdiction.

Palmtree has to expect lawsuits from any jurisdiction because the Internet has no legal regulation.

The legal system has yet to develop any rule over Internet cases.

If the relationship between Kevin and Palmtree was not passive and instead there was active twoway communication between Kevin and Palmtree, then that may be a factor for the Canadian court to consider.

Kevin only has to prove that he was located in Canada to get a Canadian court to take on a case related to the downloaded software.
