Abstract
This essay considers and revisits the concept of the ‘natural forum’ thirty-five years after the landmark decision of the House of Lords in Spiliada Maritime Corporation v Cansulex. It considers the role of that concept throughout the common law world and whether the concept is still fit for purpose in light of changes in the legal and procedural landscape during this period.
