But can you transfer a court case to another county? The answer is yes; you can change the venue of your case in the Golden State. To transfer the case, you must file a motion for a change of venue (request for order) with the court where your case is currently filed.
Brief Synopsis: A motion to transfer a state court case from one courthouse to another, often in another county, is based upon an argument that a “fair and impartial trial cannot be held in the county” usually due to news coverage and/or the popularity and prominence of the defendant.
Usually, venue is in the county where: The person you are suing lives or does business (if you are suing a business or organization); or. The dispute arose, like where an accident happened, or where a contract was entered into or broken.
A defendant may challenge venue by writing to the court. The defendant is not required to personally appear at the hearing on the venue challenge. If the court denies the challenge and the defendant is not present, the hearing must be continued to another appropriate date.
An application for a change of venue must be filed at least 10 days before the date set for trial. The Judicial Council of California plays a role after the court grants a change of venue.
Motions to transfer venue may be brought on the grounds that the action was filed in the wrong court, or that the convenience of the witnesses and the ends of justice would be promoted by the change in venue. CCP § 396b; CCP § 397(c). If venue is improper, a court must grant an "improper court" motion.
