With the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas a popular plaintiff destination, many thought that the PA Supreme Court would uphold consent by registration. And PA's statute was unusually clear that it imposed general jurisdiction as a consequence of registering. /2
This was the big case we consent-by-registration people were watching and it is pretty amazing it came out in favor of the defense.
This leaves Georgia standing alone in the post-Daimler appellate world. And Cooper Tire has sought certiorari of that decision. /Fin
