When a case is dismissed under forum non conveniens, legal remedies include appealing the decision to a higher court, requesting a rehearing or reconsideration, seeking a stay of the dismissal while preparing to file in the alternative forum, or challenging the adequacy of the new forum if it is deemed unsuitable. To challenge the dismissal, lawyers must carefully review the trial court’s decision, identify any legal or factual errors in its application of the doctrine, and prepare a compelling appeal or motion. This may involve presenting new evidence showing that the alternative forum is inadequate or that the decision was based on an improper legal standard. Filing the appeal or motion within the prescribed timeframe is crucial to preserve the right to challenge the dismissal.
