Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): the policy against depriving a plaintiff of its chosen forum. Both federal and Texas courts have prevented defendants from seeking declaratory relief when defendants’ sole purpose is to bereave the plaintiff of its selected forum and substitute a forum more favorable to them. See Allendale Mut. Ins. v. Bull Data Systems, 10 F.3d 425, 431 (7th Cir.1993) (upholding district court’s dismissal of declaratory judgment action “aimed solely at wresting choice of forum from ‘natural’ plaintiff); kirkbride v. Continental Cas. Co., 933 F.2d 729, 734-735 (affirming district court’s refusal of jurisdiction when party was attempting to use the Declaratory Judgment Act to deprive a plaintiff of his selected forum or encourage a race to judgment); Abor v. Black, 695 S.W.2d 564, 566 (Tex.1985) (<HOLDING>); Space Master Int’l., Inc. v. Portar-Kamp Mfg.
