When considering if the English Court
is clearly the appropriate forum for the dispute
to be determined, the factors the English Court may consider
are wide, and include: (i) the personal connections the
parties have
to the countries which
are relevant
to the dispute (ii) the factual focus of the dispute (i.e. in what country / countries did the relevant events occur)(iii) factors affecting convenience or expense, such as the location of witnesses and / or documents (iv) applicable law and (v) whether the matter would receive a
fair trial in another
jurisdiction.
