Is it necessary to amend the jurisdictional rules of Republic of Armenia with the traditional “forum non conveniens” rule ?
Legal practitioners from civil law countries, especially those from post-soviet area (hereinafter referred as “Developing civil law systems” or “DCL systems”) find the doctrine of “forum non convenience” (hereinafter referred as “FNC”) very strange. It is, indeed, very unusual, at least in DCL systems, that the court may have discretionary power to decline to exercise its jurisdiction, when it would be more convenient for the parties if their case would be heard by the other court.
However, as a matter of fact, the absorption of different legal institutes from developed legal systems is now a widely accepted practice in DCL systems, no matter how unusual those institutes are for their local legal cultures.
