Carmouche v. Tamborlee Mgmt., No. 14-14325 (11th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed suit against Tamborlee for negligence in the Southern District of Florida after she was injured during a shore excursion in Belize. At issue was whether the district court had general personal jurisdiction over Tamborlee, a Panama corporation that provides shore excursions for tourists in Belize. The court affirmed the district court's grant of Tamborlee's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction because Tamborlee's activities in Florida are not so continuous and systematic as to render it essentially at home there. Plaintiff failed to provide evidence that any office Tamborlee might have had in Florida played a significant role in its operations and Tamborlee’s remaining activities in Florida are not meaningfully different from the activities of the defendants in general personal jurisdiction caselaw.
