What is the test for a motion to quash service of process on jurisdictional grounds?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Luratech, Inc. v. Doc Solutions De Mexico S.A. De C.V., A144191 (Cal. App. 2016):

" 'When a defendant moves to quash service of process on jurisdictional grounds, the plaintiff has the initial burden of demonstrating facts justifying the exercise of jurisdiction. [Citation.] Once facts showing minimum contacts with the forum state are established, however, it becomes the defendant's burden to demonstrate that the exercise of jurisdiction would be unreasonable. [Citation.] When there is conflicting evidence, the trial court's factual determinations are not disturbed on appeal if supported by substantial evidence. [Citation.] When no conflict in the evidence exists, however, the question of jurisdiction is purely one of law and the reviewing court engages in an independent review of the record. [Citation.]' " (Serafini v. Superior Court (1998) 68 Cal.App.4th 70, 77-78.)
