1Opinion of the Court
GORDON, Justice.
This is an appeal from the trial court’s judgment of dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. The issue before us is whether appellee has caused an event to occur in Arizona from which appellant’s cause of action arose, and which would justify assertion of personal jurisdiction by our courts over a nonresident defendant without offending due process. We take jurisdiction pursuant to 17A A.R.S. Sup.Ct. Rules, rule 47(e). We find appellee’s contacts with Arizona sufficiently substantial to require reversal of the trial court’s ruling.
