How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- recognizing that defendants had little or no expectation that litigation arising out of transactions conducted entirely in Kentucky would be litigated in Delaware
- recognizing that Kentucky court had a “greater interest in deciding issues which may affect Kentucky residents and/or the development of Kentucky common law”
- finding that “although Plaintiff claims that none of the issues involved are novel or complex, I think it would be more appropriate for a local judge to decide the matter”
- granting motion to transfer venue because, inter alia, Plaintiffs attempt to liquidate account receivable would have little impact upon bankruptcy case or estate
- finding other factors overcome presumption in favor of plaintiffs choice of forum
- acknowledging burden on the Court’s docket
