Acts of a corporation's subsidiaries in an agency capacity may be imputed to the corporation for personal jurisdiction purposes, thus a Florida district court may properly hear a personal injury action against several Bahamian corporations which, along with their subsidiaries, conducted substantial activity in Florida to satisfy the state's long-arm statute and the due process requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment.
