Thank you - this is the first time I've been able to understand forum non conveniens!!

Hi, I am from Croatia eu, and I'm doing thesis which is forum non conveniens and possible implentation in domestic law system, and this REALLY helps to understand it for someone who comes from civil-law country! Thank you !!

[@ProfessorNathenson]

Thank you. And you are very welcome, Dante. FNC in the USA is odd because of our dual court systems (state and federal). Does Croatia have a similar dual court system?

[@flashpoint90]

Not today, since it is an unitaristic country, so the jugding system is more simplified when compared to US. But, there is something very similar ; every EU member state is responsible to EU court of justice which makes sure that all directions and provisions enacted by EU governing institutions were properly implemented in all EU states. Last year came verdict from that court over a dispute which included Ireland jurisdiction and UK, and the previous question was wether the Ireland was appropriate forum and for the first time, countries that practice civil-law tradition used something very close to FNC!

[@ProfessorNathenson]

Interesting! In US, analyses for personal jurisdiction, transfer of venue, forum non conveniens, choice of law, and more oftentimes look to similar considerations regarding contacts, interests, etc.

Thank you so much. Your clarification of 1404, 1406 and FNC finally made sense!

This is a good lecture, but have you considered making a Powerpoint instead of using a board?
