Myers v. Boeing Company
Washington Supreme Court
Decided August 15, 1990No. 55981-3PublishedCited by 38 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtDurham, J.
After the trial court bifurcated plaintiffs' cause of action, defendant admitted liability and moved for a dismissal of the damages claims on forum non conveniens grounds. The trial court found that, as to damages, Japan was the more convenient forum and granted the motion. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court in an unpublished opinion. Plaintiffs appeal, contending that the trial court abused its discretion in bifurcating the action and in dismissing the damages claims. Plaintiffs also argue that the dismissal violated their treaty rights. Finding no error, we affirm.
