Andrea · Answer 1

all of the above

Explanation:

Forum non conveniens talks about the discretionary power that allows a court to dismiss a case brought before it when there seems to be another court or forum that is in a better position to handle the case than the court where the case was first brought into.

This can be triggered either by the sued party or by the law court and the party that initiates the lawsuit can re-file his or her case in those identified appropriate forum or courts. This doctrine applies between courts in different countries and between courts in different jurisdictions in the same country.
