- “Alternative forum” means a functioning governmental division with judicial powers that may provide redress for a claim, without regard to whether the redress provided is equivalent to the redress provided under Colorado law, and that may exercise jurisdiction over the parties.
- An alternative forum shall still be an alternative forum if the statute of limitations for that forum has expired.
- “Discovery” means the procedures described in chapter 4 of the Colorado rules of civil procedure.
- “Resident” means a resident of the state of Colorado or a person who intends to return to Colorado despite establishing temporary residency elsewhere or despite a temporary absence from Colorado, without regard to the person’s country of citizenship or national origin. “Resident” does not mean a person who adopts a residence in Colorado in whole or in part to avoid the application of this part 10.
