Answer 1

Based on the scenario, Intack files a motion to have the case moved to federal court in New Mexico in which they claim that New Jersey lacks jurisdiction over the case in which made Intack not correct about their claims as they don’t have significant amount of business in the New Jersey and in addition, it could be expected that it is sued there.
