Opinion
No. 99-1281.
Opinion filed November 3, 1999.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Celeste Muir, Judge; L.T. No. 98-22638.
Thornton, Davis Murray, and Lisa Berlow-Lehner, and J. Thompson Thornton, for appellants.
Stewart, Tilghman, Fox Bianchi, P.A., and Larry S. Stewart, and James B. Tilghman; Girardi Keese and Thomas B. Girardi (California), for appellees.
Before JORGENSON, GERSTEN, and GREEN, JJ.
This is an appeal from an order denying the appellants' motion to dismiss this action based upon the doctrine of forum non conveniens. Based upon our review of the record evidence, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion when it weighed the relevant factors outlined in Kinney System, Inc. v. Continental Insurance Co., 674 So.2d 86, 90 (Fla. 1996), and determined that Ecuador was not an adequate alternative forum for this action.
Affirmed.
