In the case of Gravenor-Reutter v. Acme Markets, Inc., June Term, 2023 No. 2390 (C.P. Phila. Co. April 9, 2024 Bright, J.), the court issued a Rule 1925 Opinion to the Superior Court outlining the reasons in support of the trial court’s granting of the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss this Philadelphia County case based upon the doctrine of forum non conveniens regarding the slip and fall event that occurred at an Acme in the State of Delaware.
The trial court noted that its Order dismissing the matter should be affirmed where the accident at issue occurred in Delaware, where the Defendant had merely minimal contacts in Pennsylvania, and where Delaware was a viable alternative forum for the Plaintiff’s lawsuit.
