Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit May 1, 2003, 18-2980 (Pollux Holding Ltd. v. The Chase Manhattan Bank, Springwell Navigation Corporation v. The Chase Manhattan Bank)

CARDAMONE, Circuit Judge.

On this appeal we revisit the doctrine of

forum non conveniens.

That doctrine affords a trial court discretion in a case over which it has jurisdiction to decline to exercise it, whenever it appears that such case may be more appropriately tried in another forum, either for the convenience of the parties or to serve the ends of justice.
