Mary Clark v. Johnson Regional Medical Center Orthopaedics, P.a. D/b/a River Valley Musculoskeletal — Wills, J…

Summary

Wills, J., concurred in the majority’s conclusion that the challenged venue statute was constitutional and that venue lies within the General Assembly’s authority. The concurrence reasoned that the constitutional allocation of venue power alone resolved the separation-of-powers question, without resort to the civil-procedure rules. Danielson, J., separately concurred, agreeing that venue belongs to the General Assembly while urging legislative reconsideration of the provision’s procedural and industry-specific effects.
