Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama denied Dow Corning’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to transfer the declaratory‑judgment action from Houston County to Montgomery County under the interest‑of‑justice prong of § 6‑3‑21.1. The Court affirmed the lower court’s venue determination because both counties have comparable interests in adjudicating the indemnity dispute.
