Gau Shan Company, Ltd. v. Bankers Trust Company
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
RYAN, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a preliminary injunction enjoining defendant Bankers Trust Company, an American corporation, from filing a lawsuit in Hong Kong against plaintiff Gau Shan Company, a Hong Kong corporation. The issue for decision is whether the district court offended principles of international comity in issuing its preliminary injunction.
We conclude that the lower court misinterpreted the relevant principles of international comity and, as a result, abused its discretion in restraining Bankers Trust from prosecuting the foreign action. Therefore, we reverse.
