What's the difference between "Forum Non Conveniens" and "Anti Suit Injunctions" ?

They're unrelated.\n\nForum non means that an action is dismissed from one jurisdiction in favor starting that same action in another.\n\nAn anti-suit injunction stops one action where there are at least two simultaneous proceedings between the parties.

It's spitting, or as some less polite people call it, a pissing, contest between judges in different countries.\n\nThe classic cases are those of the late Freddie Laker, who was put out of business (Laker Airways) by the combined efforts (a conspiracy in restraint of trade) of all the main IATA translatlantic carriers.\n\nSir Lawrence Collins has written on this; and his Dicey, Morris & Collins on the Conflict of Laws, 14th ed., just out, is probably the best source of information. That and some law review articles in the USA.\n\nBut I can refer you to some cases.\nhttp://www.uniset.ca/other/cs4/731F2d909.html\nhttp://tinyurl.com/v2whu\n\nThe point is that in anticipation of a RICO or an antitrust case, or even a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a (typically) European firm might seek an injunction against a US firm from bringing an action in the US that would impair the European firm's interests.\n\nThe US firm -- and perhaps the US judge -- could freely ignore the injunction, and there could be an endless series of opposing orders. In the end, comity might, or might not, end the conflict. Collins wrote an article on comity that was published in a Festschrfit: Comity in "Modern Private International Law, in Reform and Development of Private International Law Essays in Honour of Sir Peter North".\n\nHow much do you really want to know? I could write lots more; but suffice to say an anti-suit injunction is an effort to prevent someone presumably subject to the laws of one country from frustrating that country's public policy by bringing suit elsewhere. Typically in the USA. And, if such suit is brought and judgment issued, the policy might be to block the enforcement of that judgment: U.K. Protection of Trading Interests Act, 1980, French law No. 80-538 of 6 July 1980, art. 273 of the Swiss Penal Code , the Mexican law “to protect trade and investment from foreign norms that contravene international law”, Canadian Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act.

SarahLiz is correct. Short version.\n\nBarristers appear before the court. Solicitors give legal advice.\nLawyers and attorneys (at law) do both. \n\nMost jurisdictions have just lawyers/attorneys. Some split and have separate licenses for barristers (litigators) and solicitors.\n\nOther than that, the terms are often swapped around. See above.

can you elaborate more? do you mean those signatures in forums?

Good luck with that, The Forum was knocked down about 10 years ago.  I have no idea what your question means.

Obviously you are a pro per/pro se plaintiff. Opposing counsel is apparently making the matter into a federal case. Which circuit court? Read rule 12 to see exactly what it means when filing pre trail statement. Have you conducted Discovery by presenting the defendant with a request for admissions and interrogatives? \n\nI use http://www.nolo.com for my legal matters, most all libraries have copies of their popular books (Represent Yourself At Court), they are consider by many as the industry standard.

You can only be compelled to give a deposition by a court. Not an arbitrator.

An anullment is saying that legally, the marriage never happened.\n\nA divorce is saying the marriage failed.

In medieval times, there were two court systems.\n\nCourts of law granted primarily monetary damages. Courts of equity granted primarily injunctions (orders to do or not do something). \n\nThis distinction has pretty much been eliminated in the US, where most courts can now grant relief at law or in equity, as appropriate to the claim. \n\nThe phrase "common law" generally refers to the decisions handed down by the courts, starting with the Old English common law, and more recently referring generally just to legal precedent derived from past cases. Common law decisions in the US govern interpretations of the law, as well as issues related to remedies at law (damages) and in equity. So, again, the distinction in the US has largely been eliminated.

Sorry, not familiar with the case, but I do suggest Lexis Nexis at your college library

The two major services are Westlaw and LexisNexis.  You have to a paid subscriber to use those services.  Findlaw.com is some value and is probably the best of the free services, but the paid services offer much better search engines and a much broader ranger of services.  The also have ways to check the current validity of the cases that you find.\n\nSome appellate courts offer their cases online with limited search capabilities at no charger.  Check the website for the courts of your state for more information.

I am a third year law student. What's the question? If you are asking if this is a possibility, it is. Consult a lawyer. It's called forum non conviens.

Typically a Forum is associated with a common place where people who are experts try to help those who are new to the product or technology.\n\nA discussion forum is a place where many such discussions take place like "Benefits of using WindMills" and each person contributing to the forum either in responding or bringing in new thoughts and queries.\n\n.:Fishie:.

No one seems to know; people argue interchangeably over the two.\n\nThe ref below describes this in more detail.

Forum non conveniens is a grounds for dismissal, on motion, of a civil lawsuit. It means that the court in which the suit was brought has agreed with the defendant that \n1) there is another court in which there is jurisdiction over the matter; \n2) the parties are subject to the jurisdiction of that court;\n3) the holding of a trial on the matter in the current court would present an overwhelming inconvenience to one side or the other; and \n4) there is no other reason why the lawsuit should not be held in that court.\n\nAnti Suit injunctions are different: they are a ruling by one court (#2) that the same parties already have another case over the same issues in another court (#1), and that, therefore, the second suit (and any others) should be enjoined - or stopped - because the first case will settle the issue.
