Summary

The Court granted the plaintiffs' mandamus petition and directed the Mobile Circuit Court to vacate its order transferring the declaratory-judgment action to Madison County. It held that Alabama's corporate-venue statute, § 6-3-7, governs actions against limited-liability companies, rather than the individual-venue statute, § 6-3-2, and concluded that the transfer order rested on the wrong statute.
