Ex Parte Interstate Freight USA, Inc. (in Re Kevin L. Vogler v. Interstate Freight USA, Inc.)

Summary

The Court held that venue was proper in Baldwin County because the defendants did not present sufficient evidence negating regular business activity there. Nevertheless, the Court ordered transfer to St. Clair County under the interest-of-justice prong of the forum non conveniens statute because the claims arose principally from events, employment, witnesses, and records located there, while Baldwin County had only a weak connection. Justice Murdock, dissenting, stated only that he respectfully dissented and cited an earlier dissent without identifying an alternative disposition.
