Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas) won a dismissal based on forum non conveniens for a national trucking company, which the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court of Nevada. In a published decision, the Supreme Court rejected plaintiffs’ argument that the forum non conveniens doctrine applied only to plaintiffs based outside the United States. The Court concluded that for forum non conveniens purposes, sister-state plaintiffs are considered foreign and thus their choice of forum does not automatically receive deference. While the Supreme Court remanded the case for further factual development, the deference argument was a key part of the plaintiffs’ arguments why forum non conveniens should not apply at all.
