What's your take on this — what experience or question can you share?
Scenario: A claimant files a claim in a court that may lack jurisdiction over the defendant. The defendant becomes aware of the proceedings but is unsure whether to challenge jurisdiction immediately or wait.
Question: At what point should jurisdiction be challenged, and what are the risks of delaying? Does appearing in court to challenge jurisdiction constitute submission to that court's jurisdiction? What principles would you examine before advising on the timing?
