1Opinion of the Court
HERRMANN, Justice:
This is an action for an agent’s commission or “finder’s fee” brought by the plaintiff Aaron Kolber, a resident of New York, against the defendant, Holyoke Shares, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection with the sale of the defendant’s business. No similar action has been brought in any other jurisdiction. The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground of forum non conveniens and the Superior Court granted the motion. The ultimate question before us is whether the defendant made a sufficient showing to justify the dismissal.
