Gay v. Thompson

The sole issue posed for decision is whether the trial court acquired in personam jurisdiction of defendant pursuant to G.S. 1-75.4. The resolution of this question involves a two-fold determination. First, do the statutes of North Carolina permit the courts of this jurisdiction to entertain this action against defendant. If so, does the exercise of this power by the North Carolina courts violate due process of law. See Pulson v. American Rolling Mill Co., 170 F.2d 193 (1st Cir. 1948).
