Ex Parte Gregory S. Bentley (in Re Intergraph Corporation and Cobalt Bsi Holding, L.L.C. v. Gregory S. Bentley)

Summary

The court denied the petition for a writ of mandamus seeking dismissal or a stay of Alabama litigation involving the governance and compensation practices of a Delaware corporation. It held that the defendants failed to establish a clear legal right to dismissal based on forum non conveniens, the internal-affairs doctrine, or lack of personal jurisdiction. The Alabama connections, including corporate operations, shareholder activity, communications, and alleged conduct occurring in Alabama, supported allowing the action to proceed. No separate opinions were filed.
