California Southern Railroad v. Southern Pacific Railroad
California Supreme Court
Appeal from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County refusing to change the place of trial. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtThornton, J.
This is an appeal from an order refusing to change the place of trial. The proceeding was instituted to condemn land in the county of San Diego, and was commenced in the Superior Court of that county. It is contended that the order is erroneous for the reason that the city and county of San Francisco is the principal place of business of the defendant corporation, and therefore its residence; and if such city and county is the residence of the corporation, it is the proper county for the trial of the proceeding, and the place of trial should be changed to such city and county.
