Smyth v Behbehani, Behbehani and Philip Ross and Company (a Firm): CA 11 Mar 1999

The defendant appealed against a refusal of an order declining jurisdiction for forum non conveniens.
Held: Though a court should be very careful to make any order in a matter which was being litigated in a foreign jurisdiction for fear of being party to procedural manipulation, it could do so where the making of the order would assist both parties.
