MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hosking v. TPG Capital Mgmt., L.P. (In re Hellas Telecomms. (Luxembourg) II Sca), Adv. Proc. No. 14-01848 (MG), Case No. 12-10631 (MG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2016):

not burdens heavy enough to weight the balance of convenience strongly in favor of dismissing the action." Id. The ability of U.S. courts to apply foreign law is especially relevant to U.K. law, which is generally amenable to interpretation by a U.S. court. See Gross v. BBC, 386 F.3d 224, 233-34 (2d Cir. 2004) ("[T]here are few if any countries in the world whose body of law is more amenable to application in the [U.S.] than Great Britain's. . . . and we do not believe application of such law creates a burden on the court.").
