"Pray offered no evidence that Wesco, when contracting with Xtreme, knew of Xtreme's contract with Massachusetts-based Pray. Xtreme's act of entering the contract with Pray does not constitute a contract that Wesco created with Massachusetts," Associate Justice Peter Sacks wrote.

The Massachusetts Appeals Court vacated a trial court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of Wesco Insurance Co. in a coverage dispute and remanded the case to instead be dismissed for a lack of personal jurisdiction over the complaint.

The plaintiff, Massachusetts-based general contractor D.F. Pray, was selected to renovate and repair a 13-floor corporate office in New York City for $5.9 million.
