J. Halligan answers a certified question by finding that New York law allows personal jurisdiction to be extended when a successor entity entirely assumes a predecessor's assets and liabilities but the parties do not merge. Long-arm jurisdiction had been established over claims contending a foreign bank's U.S. transfers provided assistance to Hezbollah by financing terrorist rocket attacks that harmed U.S. citizens in Israel in 2006. Under the theory of successor jurisdiction, after another foreign bank purchased the assets and liabilities, it also took on the predecessor's specific personal jurisdiction in New York.
