Herman Grant Co., Inc. v. Jo Ann Washington

KING, JUSTICE,

FOR THE COURT:

¶ 1. Herman Grant Company (“Herman Grant”) filed this interlocutory appeal, asking the Court to determine if the Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Jasper County abused its discretion by denying its motion to transfer venue to the Second Judicial District of Jones County. Because the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion to transfer venue, we reverse the trial court and remand the case for further proceedings. Venue is proper in the Second Judicial District of Jones County, where a substantial event that caused the injury occurred.

FACT…
