Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a party to a lawsuit uses the doctrine of forum non conveniens, she asks the court to dismiss the case and send it to another court that is more convenient or appropriate for the case. This is usually done when the original court does not have jurisdiction over the case or when the case would be better handled in another court. The other options listed (retry the case, send the case to an appellate court, remove a defendant, add a plaintiff) do not involve the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
