Ex Parte Shaundalyn N. Elliott (in Re Shaundalyn N. Elliott v. Allstate Insurance Company)

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted Shaundalyn Elliott's petition for a writ of mandamus, vacating the trial court's order transferring her case from Lowndes to Montgomery County. The Court held that the defendant failed to satisfy either the convenience‑of‑the‑parties or the interest‑of‑justice prongs of § 6‑3‑21.1, and that Lowndes County has a strong connection to the action, making the transfer improper.
