Forum non conveniens
Forum non conveniens (Latin for "inconvenient forum" or "inappropriate forum") is a discretionary power of mostly common law courts to refuse to hear a proceeding that has been brought before it. The courts will refuse to take jurisdiction over matters where there is a more appropriate forum available to the parties. The legal concept of forum non conveniens is not exclusive to common law nations: The Maritime Courts of the Republic of Panama, although not a common law jurisdiction, also have similar power.
