District Court of Appeal of Florida

In an action brought by buyers of a yacht against the successor to the company which sold it alleging that the yacht was defective, the court determines that, for purposes of defendant being subject to long-arm jurisdiction in Florida, there was no successor corporation liability, because there was neither an assumption of the liabilities of the original corporation, nor was the successor a continuation of the original.
