District Court of Appeal of Florida

Denial of defendants-colleges' motion to dismiss an insurer's declaratory relief action based on forum non conveniens is affirmed where there was no abuse of discretion in the denial since, under the applicable balancing test, a private factor was in equipoise and a public factor favored Florida as a forum.
