Hull v. Wilson (1995), 128 DLR (4th) 403 (Alta. C.A.) -- summary under Paragraph 2(3)(b)

The only connection of the appellant with the State of Idaho was as a purchaser of goods there and as a party to an agreement with an Idaho manufacturer of trailers appointing the appellant as a distributor of trailers in Northern Alberta. Accordingly, the appellant did not carry on business in Idaho for purposes of the Enforcement of Judgments Act (Alberta). O'Leary J.A. noted (at p. 408) that definitions of "carry on" "indicate that there must be some direct or indirect presence in the state asserting jurisdiction, accompanied by a degree of business activity which is sustained for a period of time".
