Why was the Dominion v. Fox case tried in Delaware?
<p>As reported, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-case-fox-news-trial-judge-rules/story?id=98276968" rel="noreferrer">Fox News is sued in the Delaware courts by Dominion.</a></p>
<p>What determines which state(s) the Dominion v. Fox case is tried?</p>

<p>The defendant Fox corporation (there are a variety of affiliated or formerly affiliated companies with very similar names) is organized under the laws of Delaware so lawsuits related to its activities anywhere in the world may be brought in that forum. This choice of venue denied Fox any means of contesting jurisdiction or venue.</p>
<p>Also, the Delaware courts have a great level of expertise in handling litigation involving publicly held corporations. While this may not have been very important for a jury trial on the merits itself, this expertise was quite relevant in the pre-trial discovery phase of the trial which alleged widespread misconduct by the inner circle of a publicly held company's employees and officers.</p>
