First sentence: The Bhopal case was dismissed from U.S. courts by Judge John Keenan on May 12, 1986, on the grounds of forum non conveniens, a legal doctrine that posits that significant decisions leading to the case were made elsewhere, making it inconvenient to secure witnesses and evidence in the proposed forum.
