M. C. Manufacturing Co. v. Texas Foundries, Inc.

How later courts describe this case

• court has discretion to dismiss “even though the law applicable in the alternative forum may be less favorable to the plaintiff’s chance of recovery”
• “The complexity of a trial, by itself, is insufficient grounds for overturning a trial court’s denial of a severance motion.”
• conspiracy to evade paying income tax did not terminate when returns were filed since tax evasion scheme required continued concealment of underlying transactions
• EEOC failure to complete investigation within statutorily prescribed time limit for bringing suit does not bar suit by employee
• lack of compulsory process over foreign witnesses a forceful factor favoring dismissal
