How courts have described this case

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

• authorizing stay in U.S. proceedings pending parallel foreign action based on forum non conveniens analysis
• “Maintaining two concurrent and simultaneous proceedings [ ] consumes a great amount of judicial, administrative, and party resources for only speculative gain.”
• staying case pending resolution of related Belgian proceeding to “minimize the risk of inconsistent judgments with respect to related claims”
• staying, rather than dismissing, a domestic lawsuit pending the outcome of a previously filed action in Belgium, where both actions pertained to charges allegedly owed under the same service agreement
• defendant’s consent to jurisdiction favors dismissal where it creates potential for complete identity of parties between the two actions
• staying federal action in favor of Belgian litigation
