Wimbledon Financing Master Fund, Ltd. v. Molner CA
Plaintiff Wimbledon Financing Master Fund, Ltd. (Wimbledon) appeals from an order staying this action under Code of Civil Procedure section 410.30, subdivision (a). Wimbledon is a Cayman Islands entity, and its lawsuit alleges that the defendants engaged in fraud in soliciting investment in, and operating, another Cayman Islands entity, the Aramid Entertainment Fund Limited (AEF). The trial court found that the Cayman Islands is a more convenient forum for Wimbledon’s claims, and therefore stayed the case to permit a lawsuit to be filed there.
Wimbledon contends that the trial court applied the wrong legal standard and abused its discretion in finding that the Cayman Islands is a more convenient forum for this action. We conclude that the trial court applied the correct standard and appropriately exercised its discretion. We therefore affirm.
