Text: The long-arm statute provides jurisdiction over an out of state company when it does an act in Idaho for pecuniary gain. I.C. § 5-514(a). The long-arm statute should be liberally construed. McAnally v. Bonjac, Inc., 137 Idaho 488, 491, 50 P.3d 983, 986 (2002). Based on PurCo's purposefully directed activities in Idaho the exercise of jurisdiction over PurCo by the Director in issuing the cease and desist order is consistent with fair play. State Department of Finance v. Tenney, 124 Idaho 243, 247, 858 P.2d 782, 786 (1993). This Court concludes Idaho has personal jurisdiction over PurCo.
