P0220 A complaint alleging that, during the course of his employment, a German national employed by a California company to manage its German office acquired trade secrets and other confidential information regarding the employer's products, customers and employees, which he then used to cause harm to the employer and its business revenues in California set forth sufficient nexus between the controversy at issue and the defendant's contacts with California to confer personal jurisdiction on the California courts; the commission of an intentional tort directed at a California resident may provide sufficient minimum contacts to support the exercise of personal jurisdiction.CitationINTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT v WEISSENBACH (Long Arm) 99 CA4 576 [See: CCP 410.10; Von's v Seabest 14 C4 434, T/AT 1/97; Calder v Jones 465 US 783]
