Boca Research, Inc. v. Kroll Associates, Inc.
Citations: 677 So. 2d 419; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 8243; 1996 WL 441529Docket: No. 96-416
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; August 7, 1996; Florida; State Appellate Court
Boca Research, Inc. appealed a trial court order denying its motion to transfer venue from Dade County to Palm Beach County in a breach of contract case initiated by Kroll Associates, Inc., a foreign corporation with offices in Dade County. Kroll alleged that Boca Research, a Florida corporation with an office in Palm Beach County, failed to pay for services rendered under their agreement. Kroll filed the lawsuit in Dade County, asserting that the cause of action accrued there, as the payment location was not specified in their agreement and generally defaults to the creditor's location. Citing Florida Statutes § 47.051 and relevant case law, the court determined that the cause of action accrued in Dade County because the debtor must seek payment from the creditor, implying that payment was to be made at Kroll's location. Consequently, the trial court's denial of Boca Research's motion to transfer venue was affirmed.
