Description

MOORE, Justice. Hercules Incorporated, a Delaware corporation having its headquarters and principal place of business in Wilmington, Delaware
("Hercules"), appeals the dismissal of its suit in the Superior Court against two defendants, Bank Leu, A.G., a Swiss banking
corporation, and Bank Leu International ("BL International"), a Bahamian corporation wholly owned by Bank Leu, A.G. 1 Plaintiff
charges the defendant's with misappropriation of Hercules' inside information, constituting part of a much broader conspiracy
to engage in such illegal activity. The trial court concluded that the Bank Leu defendants were properly served under Delaware's
long arm statute, 10 Del.C. § 3104, but held that subjecting them to the jurisdiction of the Delaware courts did
not comport with the due process requirements of Instituto Bancario Italiano SpA v. Hunter Engineering Co., Inc., Del. Supr.,
449 A.2d 210 (1982) (Hunter Engineering). The Superior Court made the necessary determination under Superior Court Civil Rule
54(b), and directed the entry of a final judgment on this issue. The Bank Leu defendants cross appeal from that ruling.
