A quick definition of forum inconveniens:

Forum Inconveniens: A legal term that means an unsuitable court. It is a doctrine in civil procedure that allows a court to divest itself of jurisdiction if it appears that the action should proceed in another forum for the convenience of the litigants and witnesses. This means that even if a court is competent under the law, it may dismiss a case if it is more convenient for the case to be heard in another court where the case could have been properly brought in the first place. This doctrine is also known as forum non conveniens.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Forum Inconveniens is a legal doctrine that allows a court to dismiss a case if it appears that another forum would be more convenient for the parties and witnesses involved, even if the court has jurisdiction over the case.

For example, if a person files a lawsuit in a court that is far away from where the incident occurred and where the witnesses and evidence are located, the court may dismiss the case based on forum inconveniens. The court may determine that it would be more convenient for the case to be heard in a different court that is closer to the incident and witnesses.

This doctrine is used to prevent oppression or vexation that may result from automatically honoring the plaintiff's choice of forum. However, it is important to note that the alternative forum must have jurisdiction over all parties involved and be able to provide complete relief.
