The U.S. Fifth Circuit, applying Texas law, affirmed a decision to dismiss a case under the doctrine of forum non conveniens, based on a forum-selection clause contained in a document incorporated into the parties’ contract, even though the plaintiff was not aware of the existence of the forum-selection clause.  As a result, the Texas company was required to litigate its contractual dispute in Northern Ireland.
