Forum Non Conveniens In Washington—A Dead Issue?, Philip A. Trautman Mar 1960

Forum Non Conveniens In Washington—A Dead Issue?, Philip A. Trautman

Washington Law Review

The Washington Supreme Court in the recent case of Lansverk v. Studebaker-Packard Corp. held the doctrine of forum non conveniens not to be a part of the law of this state. Probably as good a description of the doctrine as can be found is set forth in the Lansverk case, namely, that although a court in which a transitory action is commenced has jurisdiction to hear and determine it, the court can, nonetheless, in its discretion decline to exercise its jurisdiction and dismiss the action whenever it appears that there is another forum available where trial will best serve the …

In Cline v. Price the owners of a minority interest in a fishing vessel, being dissatisfied with the use to which it was being put, brought suit in Superior Court against the majority owners.

Washington Law Review

In view of the clear acknowledgment by the Supreme Court of the United States that state courts cannot be required to take jurisdiction of actions by the Federal Government for the enforcement of its penal and revenue laws, it seems proper to give further attention to the subject matter of a recent Comment in this Law Review written for the purpose of demonstrating that a state court must take jurisdiction of civil actions for the enforcement by the Federal Government of its penal and revenue laws, unless the jurisdiction of the federal courts is made exclusive by statute.


Jurisdiction Of A Justice Of The Peace, H. C. Force Nov 1926

Jurisdiction Of A Justice Of The Peace, H. C. Force

Washington Law Review

The judgment of a court ot record and of general jurisdiction, acting within the scope of its jurisdiction, is presumed to be valid in all particulars unless the contrary affirmatively appears on the face of the record. But even such a judgment is subject to attack on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. The judgment of a court of limited jurisdiction and not of record enjoys no such presumption, and the jurisdiction of such a court must be affirmatively shown. In this state, a justice court is not, and cannot be made, a court of record, and its jurisdiction is …
