Ex Parte Alfa Mutual Insurance Company (in Re: Richard Holley v. Alfa Mutual Insurance Company)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama granted Alfa Mutual Insurance Company’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the trial court abused its discretion by denying the motion to transfer the action to Tuscaloosa County under the interest‑of‑justice prong of § 6‑3‑21.1. The Court found Tuscaloosa County had a substantially stronger nexus to the claim than Pickens County, requiring transfer.
