R. Michael Crowson D/B/a Marineco R‪.‬

RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice. This consolidated petition for review arises out of a suit by the respondent, Sealaska Corporation, to rescind six barge charters and one equipment lease which were allegedly procured through extensive fraud and bribery. Peititioners and defendants below, R. Michael Crowson and Seattle-First National Bank (Seattle-First), the lessor and assignee of the lessor's interest in the contracts, respectively, contend this action must be dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds and because forum selection clauses in the contracts do not permit Sealaska to bring this type of suit in Alaska.
