Evans v. Boggess

KEHOE, Judge.

Appellants, defendants below, bring this interlocutory appeal from an order dated May 10, 1977, entered by the trial court denying their motion to dismiss for improper venue. We are of the opinion that appellants’ motion to dismiss for improper venue should be treated as a motion to transfer and that the trial court improperly denied the motion. See Barr v. Barr, 343 So.2d 1326 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977); Winter v. Curtis, 311 So.2d 815 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975); Allen v. Summers, 273 So.2d 13 (Fla. 3d DCA 1973); and Sections 47.011 and 47.051, Florida Statutes (1973).

Therefore, the order…
