How courts have described this case

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

• stating that taking jury between Philadelphia and Wilmington, less than 30 miles, “barely rises to the level of an inconvenience” and is thus not a hardship
• noting that one of the rationales for the traditional Cryo-Maid analysis is the principle that “only in a rare case should a plaintiff's choice of forum be defeated in favor of a later-filed action in another jurisdiction”
• “The issue is whether any or all of the Cryo-Maid factors establish that defendant will suffer overwhelming hardship and inconvenience if forced to litigate in Delaware.”
• “Delaware courts consistently uphold a plaintiff’s choice of forum except in rare cases.”
• noting great respect given to plaintiff’s choice of forum
• “[T]o prevail under the forum non conveniens doctrine, a defendant must meet the high burden of showing that the traditional forum non conveniens factors weigh so heavily that the defendant will face overwhelming hardship if the lawsuit proceeds in Delaware.”
