Desoto Gathering Company, LLC, Petitioner v. Barbara and Richard Ramsey; Cary and Richard Shirle — Goodson, J…

Summary

Justice Goodson dissented from the majority's refusal to use a writ of prohibition to review a circuit court's venue ruling. The dissent contends that Arkansas precedent and longstanding practice make prohibition the proper method to challenge improper venue when the issue can be resolved from the pleadings and does not depend on disputed facts, and that the court should have decided whether venue belonged in Faulkner County or in the counties where the properties were located. Justice Wynne joined the dissent.
