In re P.O.B.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that dismissal for forum non conveniens was not appropriate absent the defendant’s willingness to submit to the jurisdiction of the foreign court
• noting pre-dismissal relevance of Ecuador’s letters to the court arguing, as a non-party, that the “case implicated Ecuador’s sovereign interests and should not be decided in a United States court”
• considering whether to dismiss proceedings related to environmental damage in Ecuador based on Ecuador’s interest in foreign or domestic resolution and holding dismissal on grounds of forum non conveniens and comity erroneous
• both stating that the district court on remand should consider whether the foreign court constitutes an adequate forum, but neglecting to mention the \true conflict\ threshold
• abuse of discretion to dismiss entire complaint on Rule 19 grounds where much of the relief sought could be fully provided by the named parties without any participation by the absent party
