Question point
Goldfarb decides the pressures of academic life are wearing him down so he goes to a local travel agency to book a trip to Mexico for Spring Break. The local travel agent has some contractual arrangements with the Loco Yankee Hotel in Cancun, Mexico and suggests it to Goldfarb. Goldfarb reserves a room at the hotel and while partying there is encouraged to wear the "party sombrero", a large, heavy hat that causes him to lose his balance. Goldfarb falls while wearing the sombrero and breaks his ankle. When he returns to Macomb, he files a lawsuit against the Mexican hotel in Illinois Circuit Court for negligence. The hotel is owned by El Enron, a Mexican corporation, with its headquarters in Mexico City, Mexico. El Enron files a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming that the Illinois state court does not have personal jurisdiction over the Mexican corporation. In deciding whether it has personal jurisdiction, the Illinois court must determine whether El Enron has at least minimum contacts with Illinois. To determine minimum contacts, the court will look at all of the following excert whether:
El Enron purposefully availed itself of acting in Illinois.
Goldfarb is seeking a legal or equitable remedy.
the cause of action arose from the contacts with Illinois.
El Enron's actions had a substantial connection with Illinois to make jurisdiction
