Dissent Summary
AI Abstract

In the case of Lyman A. Spalding v The People of the State of New York, ex rel. Frederic F. Backus, the Supreme Court was asked to decide whether a state court had jurisdiction over an action brought by a citizen from another state against a defendant who resided in that same other state but whose property was located within the boundaries of the forum state (New York). In this particular instance, it was determined that since both parties were citizens from outside New York and all property involved in dispute belonged to them as well, there could be no legal basis for granting jurisdiction to any court within New York's borders. Justice McLean delivered an opinion dissenting with majority ruling on this matter stating that although he agreed with their conclusion regarding lack of jurisdiction due to citizenship status and location of property belonging to each party being out-of-state; however he felt strongly that if one or more pieces evidence used in trial originated from within New York then its courts should have been allowed some form authority over proceedings related thereto even though neither plaintiff nor defendant lived there at time suit filed or when judgment rendered. He argued further than such jurisdictional power would not only protect rights individuals living outside states where disputes arise but also promote justice generally by allowing those affected access fair trials regardless geographic origin either litigant may possess
