Jensen v. Jensen

by
The Court of Appeal affirmed Trine Jensen's motion to quash service of summons and the cross-complaint, holding that Trine did not personally avail herself of California's benefits and thus the state may not exercise personal jurisdiction over her. Kari Jensen and Trine Jensen are sisters, and their mother is Grethe Jensen. Grethe had filed suit in California against Kari, for the partition by sale of a real property they owned as joint tenants and for damages on tort theories including financial elder abuse. Trine is a resident of Utah and is the guardian ad litem for Grethe. Kari filed a cross-complaint against Trine for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, and the trial court subsequently granted Trine's motion to quash service of the summons.
