Forum non conveniensLa règle du Forum non conveniens (FNC, « forum incommode » en latin) est une doctrine juridique que l'on retrouve principalement dans les pays de common law par laquelle un tribunal « reconnaît qu'un autre forum ou tribunal est plus approprié et renvoie l'affaire à un tel forum. Un renvoi devant une autre juridiction est possible, lorsqu'une autre juridiction est plus appropriée pour statuer sur une affaire, par ex. la juridiction dans laquelle un accident s'est produit et où résident tous les témoins ».
Venue (law)In law, the venue is the location where a case is heard. The perceived abuse of English criminal venue law was one of the enumerated grievances in the United States Declaration of Independence, which accused George III of the United Kingdom of "transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses." Article Three of the United States Constitution provides: "Trial of all Crimes . . . shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
ComityIn law, comity is "a practice among different political entities (as countries, states, or courts of different jurisdictions)" involving the "mutual recognition of legislative, executive, and judicial acts." Comity derives from the Latin cōmitās, courtesy, from cōmis, friendly, courteous. Enforcement of foreign judgments The doctrine of international comity has been described variously "as a choice-of-law principle, a synonym for private international law, a rule of public international law, a moral obligation, expediency, courtesy, reciprocity, utility, or diplomacy.
