John has no jurisdiction over me in New Jersey. I have not been to the State of New Jersey for at least five years, the last time I was there was to attend the Trenton Computer Festival that college puts on. He can file there, but it will be pitched out and he will have to refile it here. If for some reason the trial court fails to grant my motion to pitch it out for any reason, we move to whats called an interlocutory appeal, where the judge's decision is appealed before the trial takes place, the appeal is heard and decided and then it gets remanded back to the trial court to be tried consistent with the appeals court decision.
John and his legal team will keep coming back to Oklahoma. OKC is not a bad place to stay, and I am the sporting type. I'll see what I can do to round him up some good deals on hotels and dining in the area. After all, the more money I can save him the more he'll have to satisfy the judgment rendered in the cross claim. Any competent counsel knows damn good and well about the jurisdiction issue and therefore filing it in New Jersey is acting in bad faith and in every state it is a crime to sue someone simply for the pleasure of suing them when you know that by doing so you will cost them unneeded expense and should John's company proceed anyway, I will immediately counter sue John's company for all expenses related to defending against it.
Unlike any of the other suits he may have filed against his customers, New Jersey courts have no jurisdiction over me because he has no contract with me. I am not his customer, never considered being his customer and now for certain will never be his customer. I assume the contracts he has with his clients contain a provision whereby they consent to NJ state and federal courts for litigation. That works for them. It wont help him with me.
