Even though some evidence and some witnesses are in New York, the court determined that New York is an inconvenient forum for this action in which the plaintiff alleges fraud and improper ouster from her position in a Bahamian company. All the allegedly tortious acts took place in the Bahamas, plaintiff's injury occurred in the Bahamas, and the company has it principal office in the Bahamas. In addition, Bahamian law will govern at least some of the claims.
