Ellis v. AAR Parts Trading2/4/2005
among several counties, including plaintiff's chosen forum, and no single county enjoys a predominant connection to the litigation. The balance of [both private and public interest] factors must strongly favor transfer of the case before the plaintiff can be deprived of his chosen forum." (Emphasis added.) Guerine, 198 Ill. 2d at 526; see also Torres, 98 Ill. 2d at 349 (the same considerations of convenience and fairness routinely apply equally in deciding the issue of forum for a dismissal motion based on interstate forum non conveniens and a dismissal motion based on intrastate forum non conveniens). In this case, the trial court's November 20, 2002, order and April 8, 2003, order denying the defendants' motions to transfer this case from the circuit court to the Philippines were not an abuse of discretion because the private and public interest factors do not "strongly favor transfer of the case." Therefore, we will not reverse the trial court's orders.
For the foregoing reasons, the orders entered by the trial court are affirmed.
Affirmed.
CAMPBELL, P.J., and O'BRIEN, concur.
