How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that language barrier was significant factor in forum non conveniens analysis where translators would be needed not only for witness testimony but to allow defendant to communicate with counsel
• staying an action pending the outcome of a Puerto Rico action based upon forum non conveniens despite a forum selection clause designating Delaware as the forum
• granting a stay where a language barrier existed thus requiring a translator for evidence and witnesses, and the Cryo-Maid factors weighed in favor of the defendant
• declining to enforce forum selection clause and dismissing case where “the enforceability of the non-competition agreement will be evaluated under Puerto Rico’s—not Delaware’s law” among other factors favoring dismissal
• grant oí forum non conveniens motion permitted only when hardship to defendant is “overwhelming”
• “[D]espite linguistic appearance to the contrary, forum non conveniens is not a doctrine of convenience; it is a doctrine of significant, actual hardship.”
