Piper Aircraft Co. v. Reynogreen2 sentences2025Tolling under those circumstances poses no conflict with the policies underlying the forum non conveniens doctrine, because any forum non conveniens dismissal presupposes that the plaintiff may reinstate the claims in an “alternative forum.” See, e.g., Piper Aircraft Co. v. Reyno, 454 U.S. 235 , 254 n.22 (1981). 2017The Majority cites Piper Aircraft Co. v. Reyno, 454 U.S. 235, 255-56 , 102 S.Ct. 252 , 70 L.Ed.2d 419 (1981), for the proposition that, in a forum non conveniens analysis, a foreign plaintiffs choice of venue deserves less deference than a plaintiff suing in his or her home court. | 2 | 3 |

Johnson v. G.D. Searle & Co.green2 sentences2023The Court reasoned that “[i]n order to apply a forum non conveniens analysis there must be an alternative forum which is available for the litigation.” Id. 2003As this Court held in Johnson v. Searle, supra, 314 Md. at 523 , 552 A.2d at 30 , “a circuit court abuses its discretion by unconditionally dismissing actions on the ground of forum non conveniens when the statute of limitations has likely run in the alternative forum.” This was clearly not an appropriate case for applying the doctrine of forum non conveniens. | 1 | 3 |
