Pepper v. C.R. England

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing the wrongful-death complaint for forum non conveniens because the defendants did not support their motion with the required affidavit. The court also held that a plaintiff residing in another state is treated as a foreign plaintiff and receives less deference when selecting Nevada, unless she demonstrates bona fide connections to Nevada. The court reversed and remanded without deciding whether this case had such connections.
