The Alabama Supreme Court granted the defendants' petition for mandamus, holding that they have a clear legal right to have the Wilcox Circuit Court's denial of their venue transfer motion vacated and the case transferred to the Conecuh Circuit Court under the forum non conveniens statute. The Court rejected the plaintiffs' waiver argument and found the trial court’s decision was an abuse of discretion.
