Ramsden v. State of Ill.green2 sentences2025The Missouri Supreme Court has explained that the comity rule is not a “matter . . . of right” or “a rule of law,” but is instead based on considerations of “courtesy,” “respect,” “convenience and expediency”; the doctrine “does not of its own force compel a particular course of action,” but is instead “an expression of one State's entirely voluntary decision to defer to the policy of another.” Ramsden v. State of Illinois, 695 S.W.2d 457, 459-60 (Mo. 1985) (cleaned up). 2022“The doctrine of comity is not a rule of law, but one of practice, convenience and expediency.” Ramsden, 695 S.W.2d at 459 (internal quotation marks omitted). 5 Here, Arnaldo’s Will and First Codicil were both filed with the Florida probate court on February 26, 2019. | 2 | 2 |

State ex rel. Miller v. Jonesgreen1 sentence2025However, the court in which the second action is brought may in its discretion stay or suspend that suit, awaiting decision in the first one, or, influenced by a spirit of comity, may refuse to entertain it, if the same relief may be awarded in the prior suit. . . . [I]t is clear from the authorities quoted above that the question of granting a stay in the proceedings is a matter for the respondent's discretion, and of course, the manner in which the respondent should exercise his discretion is not a proper subject for prohibition. 10 Id. at 538-39 (cleaned up); see also Brooks Erection & Cons | 1 | 1 |
