Not looking to open old wounds. One question.

Was the case against Eastern Sailplane ( Tim Donovan 2009 ASG-29 accident) successful?

Below is a copy of the court. Below that is a link which you will need to scroll down several before you get this.

Bar News - April 13, 2012.
The plaintiffs brought suit against the German manufacturer of a glider and the manufacturer’s distributor in this country after Timothy Donovan was killed when the glider crashed. The distributor, located in Ohio, moved to dismiss the claims due to a lack of personal jurisdiction. The plaintiffs asserted specific personal jurisdiction based on Donovan’s residence in New Hampshire and Donovan’s dealings, from New Hampshire, with the distributor and the manufacturer. The court granted the motion, concluding that the distributor’s contacts with New Hampshire were insufficient to support specific jurisdiction for purposes of the plaintiffs’ breach of warranty and negligence claims. 10 pp. Judge Paul Barbadoro.
