Description
Plaintiff Archibald appeals from a trial court order dismissing her class action against all defendants on grounds of forum non conveniens and additionally against defendant Waikiki Hotels-Seven for want of personal jurisdiction. We explain that because plaintiff is a California resident, the trial court erred in granting defendants' motion to dismiss on grounds of forum non conveniens ; even if Hawaii would provide a more convenient forum, as defendants contend, the authority of the trial court is limited to staying the California action pending proceedings in Hawaii. With regard to the question of jurisdiction over defendant Waikiki Hotels-Seven, we adopt the views stated in the opinion of Presiding Justice Leonard Friedman for the Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District, which held that defendant's declarations did not suffice to establish that California lacked personal jurisdiction over such defendant.
