State of Alabama v. Legion Bingo Bachar Schlomo American Legion Post No. 347 and City of Fairfield (Appeal from…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Bessemer Division’s judgments that dismissed eight public‑nuisance actions and remanded the cases for further proceedings, directing the lower court to hold a hearing on the State’s motions for preliminary injunctions. The Court held that the Birmingham Division’s transfer of the actions to Bessemer was proper venue, that the Bessemer Division has jurisdiction, and that the dismissal was erroneous. It also denied the City of Midfield’s motion to dismiss its appeal and affirmed the extension of time granted for the record on appeal.
