Recent Case: Venue and Construction Cases

Gregory Pill, et. al. v. Merco Group of the Palm Beaches, Inc., et. al., Case No. 4D10-2537, filed March 16, 2011: Trial court’s transfer of venue from Palm Beach County to Miami-Dade County was reversed pursuant to the general venue set forth in s. 47.011 in a suit for return of deposits on pre-construction contracts where all defendants resided in Miami-Dade County but the property in litigation was located in Palm Beach County, the appellate court holding that the “joint residency” venue privilege granted by s. 46.01 is not an exception to the general venue statute.
