Ex Parte East Alabama Medical Center. (in Re John Tinney v. East Alabama Medical Center)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama granted East Alabama Medical Center's petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that Randolph County was an improper venue under all subsections of § 6‑3‑7(a) and ordering the case transferred to Lee County. The Court based its decision on a prima facie showing that the hospital’s actions occurred in Lee County and that it does not do business by agent in Randolph County, and it refused to consider evidence not presented to the trial court.
