Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The jurisdiction of the Ohio state court is likely to be exercised over Nik if Milo's claim arises from Nik's Web site activities. Since Nik has substantial business dealings with Ohio residents through his website, it falls under the category of "minimum contacts," which is a key factor when determining if a court has jurisdiction over a defendant. Therefore, the court is more likely to have jurisdiction over Nik if a claim arises from his website activities rather than if it arises from other factors unrelated to his website or Ohio residents.
