Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama granted a writ of mandamus directing the Walker Circuit Court to vacate its denial of motions to transfer venue and to transfer the case to the Jefferson Circuit Court. The Court held that venue was improper in Walker County because the defendants did not do business there, making Jefferson County the proper venue, and that mandamus was appropriate where the trial court’s denial showed a clear error.
