Guidi v. Inter-Continental Hotels Corp.
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (2000) | 224 F.3d 142; 2000 WL 1158788
TL;DR: U.S. plaintiffs sued a U.S. hotel corporation in New York for injuries in Egypt. The appellate court reversed the district court's dismissal on *forum non conveniens*, finding insufficient deference was given to the plaintiffs' choice of a U.S. forum.
Legal Significance: This case underscores the significant deference owed to a U.S. plaintiff's choice of a U.S. forum in a *forum non conveniens* analysis, especially against a U.S. defendant, and clarifies the limited relevance of related foreign litigation.
