Wilson v. ImageSat Int'l, N.V

In Wilson v. ImageSat Int'l, N.V., No. 07 Civ. 6176 (DLC), 2008 WL 28515111, (SDNY 2008), the court made a specific finding that there was strong evidence of forum shopping. It also found that while there were a number of contracts which included a New York governing law provision as well as a clause in which the parties consented to the jurisdiction of the New York State courts, the plaintiffs did not attempt to show that those contracts, either singly or together, formed the basis for their claims or that any defendants were forbidden as a matter of law by any of the contracts from moving for dismissal on the ground of forum non conveniens.
