Tranter, M. v. Z&D Tour, Apl. of: FedEx

Summary

This concurring opinion agrees that the Superior Court improperly required a “key witness” showing and that the trial court acted within its discretion in transferring the litigation from Philadelphia to Westmoreland County. It separately cautions that witness distance and witness numbers cannot become mechanical substitutes for the required case-specific showing that the chosen forum is oppressive rather than merely inconvenient. Justice McCaffery joins the concurrence.
