Miami Elevator Co. v. Winewood Park Ltd. Partnership
Docket: No. 3D99-2347
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; February 1, 2000; Florida; State Appellate Court
Miami Elevator Company is appealing a non-final order that granted Winewood Park Limited Partnership's motion to transfer venue in a breach of contract case. The court determined that the contract's venue selection clause explicitly allowed for proceedings to occur in Dade County or any other county chosen by Miami Elevator Company. Since Miami Elevator Company filed suit in Dade County in accordance with this clause, the court found that it was within its rights to do so. Citing precedent from several cases, the court reversed the lower court's order and remanded the case for further proceedings.
