Illinois Supreme Court October 21, 1983, 57325 (Wieser v. Missouri Pacific Railroad)

CHIEF JUSTICE RYAN

delivered the opinion of the court:

This case arises out of an action filed under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (45 U.S.C. sec. 51 et seq. (1976)). The sole issue raised for our consideration is whether the trial court abused its discretion when it denied defendant’s motion to decline jurisdiction based upon the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
