Zusammenfassung:For Canadian litigation lawyers who are confronted with the question of whether to sue in the U.S. or in Canada, finally here is a book which offers guidance for evaluating the best forum and identifying the relevant factors. Often, in cases with contacts in multiple jurisdictions, lawyers are tempted to initiate proceedings in the jurisdiction they know best. While such an approach is convenient for the lawyer, it may not be the best choice for the client who presents with a problem involving a complex, multijurisdictional fact pattern. Authored by an expert with practical experience in U.S.-Canadian litigation issues, and years' of experience in assisting Canadian lawyers deal with the challenges of litigating in the U.S., this is the only Canadian text which focuses exclusively on cross-border tort actions. Combining the principles of conflicts of law, doctrines of res judicata and forum non conveniens with a comparative review of the juridical advantages offered by U.S. jurisdictions adjacent to the Canadian border, it shows how to evaluate a case from a jurisdictional standpoint, and make intelligent choices about optimal forum selection."--Pub. desc
