I thought the whole idea of jurisdiction was to prevent just that. If a company isn't doing business in your state, then I don't see how that state has any legal authority over the business. >If they fail to pay, then they are in contempt of court, and prohibited from doing >business in MA until they do pay. Of course, if they aren't doing business in MA, then what's the big deal? :) If they are doing business in MA, then an MA court would be the correct jurisdiction, anyway.
