Ex Parte Thomasville Feed & Seed, Inc. (in Re Roy Saulsberry and Roy Saulsberry, Jr. v. Thomasville Feed & Seed, Inc.)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama granted Thomasville Feed's petition for mandamus, holding that venue was improper in Wilcox County and directing transfer of the case to Clarke County because the corporation’s principal office is there and the statutory venue provisions for events or omissions and plaintiff residence were not satisfied. Justice Murdock filed a concurring opinion disagreeing with the Court’s prior construction of “events or omissions giving rise to the claim.”
