A dispute over the online sale of a car by a California seller to a New Jersey buyer does not fall under the jurisdiction of New Jersey’s court system, the Appellate Division ruled Thursday.

The seller’s act of listing the car on automotive website Hemmings.com and his brief interactions with the buyer did not rise to the level of minimum contacts to support personal jurisdiction under the due process clause, the appeals court ruled, upholding a 2018 decision by Superior Court Judge Mark Ciarrocca in Union County that dismissed the suit for lack of jurisdiction.
