About this listen
This document is an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit regarding a lawsuit where ECB USA, Inc., and Atlantic Ventures Corp. (the buyers) sued Savencia Cheese USA, LLC, and several individuals (the sellers). The buyers alleged fraud and related torts against the sellers and tortious interference against Savencia Cheese after a business acquisition of a cheese distribution company went awry. The district court dismissed the claims, citing a lack of personal jurisdiction over the sellers and the buyers' failure to sufficiently state a claim against Savencia Cheese. This appellate court affirmedthe district court's decision, concluding that the sellers lacked minimum contacts with Florida to establish personal jurisdiction and that the buyers' complaint did not meet pleading standards for the claims against Savencia Cheese, though one circuit judge dissented regarding the tortious interference claim.
