Practice question
A defendant asserts a parallel-foreign-suit danger but admits no foreign tribunal has chosen to exercise jurisdiction and no litigation or dispute resolution has begun abroad. It offers only predictions. Under the PNCC discussion, which is best?
- The claimed danger must be established as real and present; those predictions alone do not satisfy the stated showing.
- The mere ability to imagine another forum mandates dismissal.
- Every foreign embassy is automatically seized of the dispute.
- The plaintiff's claim is extinguished by mentioning comity.
- The court must treat an unsigned draft as a foreign judgment.
