discricionariamente


Explanation:
Sugestão em PT(pt):

This examination of the general scheme of the Convention thus supports the view that, in circumstances like those of the main proceedings, a court in a Contracting State, whose jurisdiction is based on Article 2 of the Convention, is precluded from declining, as a matter of discretion, to exercise its jurisdiction on the ground that a court of a non-Contracting State would be a more appropriate forum to determine the action.

Este exame da economia geral da Convenção confirma, portanto, a tese segundo a qual a Convenção obsta a que, numa situação como a do litígio no processo principal, um órgão jurisdicional de um Estado contratante, cuja competência seja estabelecida com fundamento no artigo 2.° da Convenção, renuncie discricionariamente ao exercício da sua competência, por um órgão jurisdicional de um Estado não contratante ser mais apropriado para decidir do mérito do litígio.
