§ 23382 County Court Case Transfers

Key Takeaways

  • •If a new county is created, lawsuits about land or property in that new county can be moved to the new county's court.
  • •Other lawsuits that could have started in the new county can also be moved there if the court allows it.
  • •A person involved in the lawsuit must ask the court to move the case.

Example

Imagine a town becomes a new county called 'Sunshine County'. Before this, someone sued their neighbor over a piece of land in Sunshine County, but the case was in the old county's court.

Now that Sunshine County exists, either person in the lawsuit can ask the court to move the case to Sunshine County's court. The court will then decide if the case should be moved there.
