Title: Disadvantages to American Litigants in International Reinsurance Disputes
Authors: Lewis E. Hassett, Simon R. Malko
Volume: 10  Number: 2  Issue: Spring 2003  Page: 41
Abstract:  American litigants can be disadvantaged in international reinsurance disputes, because of two legal hurdles that have encouraged American courts to eschew jurisdiction in favor of English courts.

Second, under the doctrine of forum non conveniens, American courts have been quick to defer to the perceived reinsurance expertise of London courts.
