COOK ASSOCIATES V. LEXINGTON UNITED CORP.
87 Ill.2d 190 (1981)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a breach of contract dispute.
FACTS: In Illinois, Cook (P) sued Lexington (D) over a breach of contract. P was a head
hunting firm and had submitted applicants to D that were not employed but eventually an
applicant that was referred by P was hired by D after the search contract had expired. D was
a Delaware corporation not licensed to do business in Illinois. P served the president of D
while he was at a trade show in Chicago. D attended that trade show on a regular basis but
did not have an office, a phone number, or an employee within the state. D disputed personal
jurisdiction but was overruled and summary judgment was eventually granted in P's favor. D
appealed and the appellate court held that there was no personal jurisdiction over D.
