Full text

A determination of the adjudicating forum shall be made in consideration of the following factors: (1) The interests of justice among the parties and of world-wide justice; (2) The public policies of the countries having jurisdiction of the dispute, including the interest of the affected courts in having proceedings take place in their respective forums; (3) The place of occurrence, and of any effects, of the transaction or occurrence out of which the dispute arose; (4) The nationality of the parties; (5) Substantive law likely to be applicable and the relative familiarity of the affected courts with that law; (6) The availability of a remedy and the forum likely to render the most complete relief; (7) The impact of the litigation on the judicial systems of the courts involved, and the likelihood of prompt adjudication in the court selected; (8) Location of witnesses and availability of compulsory process; (9) Location of documents and other evidence and ease or difficulty associated with obtaining, reviewing or transporting such evidence; (10) Place of first filing and connection of such place to the dispute; (11) The ability of the designated forum to obtain jurisdiction over the persons and property that are the subject of the proceedings; (12) Whether designation of an adjudicating forum is a superior method to parallel proceedings in adjudicating the dispute; (13) The nature and extent of litigation that has proceeded over the dispute and whether a designation of an adjudicating forum will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties; and (14) A realigned plaintiff's choice of forum should rarely be disturbed.
