Anyango v. Rolls-Royce Corp.

SULLIVAN, Justice.

Parents of a young man killed in a bizarre helicopter accident in British Columbia appeal an Indiana trial court’s dismissal of their complaint in favor of the Canadian forum, arguing that their claim should be tried here because they would only be entitled to nominal damages under British Columbia law. Because we conclude that British Columbia provides an available and adequate forum under applicable law, and that the trial court did not otherwise abuse its discretion in dismissing the complaint on the ground of forum non conveniens, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
