1. ““It is easier to obtain jurisdiction over a nonresident tort feasor than over a nonresident wrongdoer in fields other than torts. In the latter instance jurisdiction is posited under the statute on the defendant’s transacting any business in this State ( Ga. Code Ann. § 24-113 .(1)(a)) and in such cases Due Process must be satisfied by the existence of ‘minimum contacts’ of the nonresident in the state in which he is sued “Jurisdiction over nonresidents in tort actions carries no such impedimenta. The minimum contacts requirement does not have to read into the language ‘Commits a tortious act or omission within this state.’ Where a nonresident enters a state and commits a tort no showing of continuous activity in the jurisdiction is required. Jurisdiction is sustained by the commission of a single tort. See Nelson v. Miller, 11 Ill.2d 378 , 143 N.E.2d 673 ; Smyth v. Twin State Improvement Corp., 116 Vt. 569 , 80 A.2d 664 . . . .””
