DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the defendants' contention, the Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Montreal, had a valid basis for exercising personal jurisdiction over them as they purposefully transacted business in Quebec (see CPLR 5305[b]; CPLR 302[a][1]; Dolec Consultants v. Lancer Litho Packaging Corp., 245 A.D.2d 415). Moreover, the Quebec court's exercise of jurisdiction did not violate principles of due process (see International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 319).

The defendants' contention that enforcing the Quebec judgment would be against public policy is without merit (see Greschler v. Greschler, 51 N.Y.2d 368, 376).

FEUERSTEIN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, McGINITY and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
