Heading: Erroneous Cryo-Maid Factual Findings

Text: In its opinion the Court of Chancery considered and assessed the six factors prescribed by Cryo-Maid and its progeny, that are legally relevant to a forum non conveniens analysis. Regrettably, the Court's conclusions relating to several of those factors were based upon conclusory affidavits that Pan American had submitted. The Court's conclusions failed to take into account controverting evidence submitted by Candlewood as well as critical admissions by Pan American. This Court will not upset a trial court's factual findings if they are supported by the record and are the product of an orderly and logical deductive process. [35] Here, several of the Court of Chancery's critical findings were not adequately supported by the record and, thus, were erroneous.
