Corpus Christi Taxpayers Ass'n v. City of Corpus Christi

beginning the final prong of the analysis with a consideration of "relevant factors of private interest, weighing in the balance the relevant deference given the particular plaintiff’s initial choice of forum” | court should review forum non conveniens motion in light of status of case at time motion is filed | “The status of the case when a forum non conveniens motion is decided is the most significant in the resolution of the motion.” | court should review forum non conveniens motion in light of status of case at time motion is filed | `[T]he "police power" is indistinguishable from the state's inherent power to enact laws and regulations; the existence of that power cannot explain the extent to which the power is constitutionally limited.' | “Unless the defendant can show that he was greatly prejudiced by the fact that the trial occurred in the particular forum selected by the plaintiff, we believe the trial’s occurrence and completion bolsters the district court’s original decision to deny the motion to dismiss.” | “The Court’s language that a foreign plaintiffs forum selection deserves less deference is not an invitation to accord a foreign plaintiffs selection of an American forum no deference since dismissal for forum non conveniens is the exception rather than the rule.”
