California Court of Appeal

In this case brought by Iranian citizens against Iranian citizens, involving a dispute over real properties located in Iran, the trial court stayed the action pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 410.30(a), which provides that a court shall stay or dismiss an action when it finds that the interest of substantial justice is served by having the action heard in a forum outside the state. The trial court's order is reversed, where Iran is not a suitable alternative forum to hear this action.
