Abstract

The two in personam jurisdictional issues formally before the Supreme Court in Bauman are: (1) May the very substantial California contacts of Daimler AG's wholly owned United States sales-­and-­distribution subsidiary, Mercedes-­Benz USA (a Delaware corporation), be attributed to Daimler AG in deciding whether in personam jurisdiction exists in California over the German parent? (2) If so, may California exercise general jurisdiction over Daimler AG in connection with claims arising under Argentine and California law, asserting human rights violations allegedly committed in Argentina against Argentine citizens by Daimler AG's wholly owned Argentine subsidiary, Mercedes-­Benz Argentina?
