Forum Non Conveniens and Lis Penders
Civil Law: acts when there is an actual conflict, usually by the doctrine of lis pendens
(suit pending) – simplicity, but can lead to burdensome situations
Common Law: acts before the actual conflict, by employing the doctrine of forum
non conveniens, by determining which court is the most appropriate to hear a case.
If the conflict arises, the anti suit injunctions can be deployed to ensure the
application of the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
