Reasor-Hill Corp. v. Harrison

Planters Flying Service (PFS), an Arkansas crop-spraying company not authorized to do business in Missouri, sued D.M. Barton in Arkansas for unpaid services, and Barton cross-claimed that PFS had damaged his Missouri crops using an improper insecticide; PFS petitioned for a writ of mandamus to prevent the Arkansas court from hearing Barton's cross-claim, arguing courts traditionally lack jurisdiction over suits for damage to out-of-state real property.
