Libertad Act Title III Lawsuit Filing Statistics

Excerpts:

ARGUMENT: I. This Court Has Jurisdiction Over All Defendants Under The Florida LongArm Statute’s “Tortious Act” Prong II. This Court Has Jurisdiction Over DSV Under The Florida Long-Arm Statute’s “Business Activity” Prong III. The Exercise Of Jurisdiction Comports With Due Process IV. This Court Has Jurisdiction Based On Plaintiff’s Conspiracy Claim

Each of the Defendants directed activities into, otherwise targeted, and/or committed acts within Florida by analyzing, approving, and facilitating the Miami stops, without which there would be no Helms-Burton claim. All Defendants clearly “kn[e]w of the [trafficking] scheme and assist[ed] it in some way,” and are thus subject to jurisdiction based on Plaintiff’s conspiracy claim.
