Debating a Trial Court Venue In Florida
If you feel that a contracted with party has breached the terms of your agreement, absent specific language in the contract, any trial court in the state has jurisdiction to hear your claim. However, not all of court are “proper” venues. Determining which courts are proper is a very important strategic step to consider before initiating litigation. Indeed, when determining venue, absent a contractual provision to the contrary, the choice of venue should be carefully weighed alongside Chapter 47 of the Florida Statutes.
