Riverhills Capital Corporation and the Estate of Herbert Stathes v. At Home Care, Inc.

Summary

The court held that the circuit court properly retained jurisdiction over At Home Care's complaint because, viewed as a whole, the complaint primarily asserted legal claims seeking monetary damages, even though it also included an equitable claim to remove a cloud from title. The court rejected the defendants' attempt to resolve the merits of their contract defenses through a subject-matter-jurisdiction motion. The circuit court's denial of transfer was affirmed, and the case was remanded to the circuit court.
