World Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson | 585 P.2d 351 (1978)
Courts must have personal jurisdiction before they can exercise power over a defendant. Although this rule can be simply stated, determining whether personal jurisdiction exists in a given case is much more difficult. In World-Wide Volkswagen Corporation versus Woodson, we explore the circumstances under which courts can exercise personal jurisdiction over nonresident defendants.
Kay Robinson and her children were injured when their Audi vehicle was rear-ended in Oklahoma, causing the car to catch fire. Robinson had purchased the vehicle in another state from Seaway Volkswagen, Incorporated. The vehicle was distributed by World-Wide Volkswagen Corporation, the distributor of Audis in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.
Robinson filed a product liability suit against Seaway and World-Wide Volkswagen, which we’ll collectively refer to as the defendants, in Oklahoma state court. Neither defendant was a resident of Oklahoma. The defendants argued that Oklahoma courts lacked personal jurisdiction over them. The trial court, presided over by Judge Woodson, concluded that it had personal jurisdiction over both defendants. The defendants then asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court to assume original jurisdiction and prohibit Woodson from exercising personal jurisdiction over them. The court assumed original jurisdiction.
