Gerling Global Reinsurance Corp. v. First Interstate Bank

Defendant First Interstate Bank of Missoula (FIB), f/k/a First National Montana Bank Of Missoula appeals the order of the Fourth Judicial District Court, Missoula County, denying its motion for a change of venue to the First Judicial District, Lewis and Clark County. The denial was based on the legal relationship created between the parties when FIB issued the plaintiff, Gerling Global Reinsurance Corp. (Gerling), a letter of credit on behalf of its depositor, Glacier General Assurance Co. (Glacier). The sole issue on appeal is whether the District Court erred in denying the motion. We affirm.
