Answer: A - Minimum contact with Connecticut occurred when NCPC mailed advertising to and entered into an insurance contract with a Connecticut resident. The advertising and entering of a contract with Millie were business activities in Connecticut and are sufficient for the constitutionality of Connecticut’s personal jurisdiction. Minimum contact results from sufficient connections to the forum state to allow personal jurisdiction over the defendant. “A nonresident defendant’s forum-state connections, such as a business activity or actions foreseeably leading to business activity, that are substantial enough to bring the defendant within the forum-state court’s personal jurisdiction.” Black’s Law Dictionary 448 (2d Pocket Ed. 2001).
