The Mississippi Supreme Court handed down one opinion today. It is a 5-4 decision on interlocutory appeal of an order denying a venue transfer.
Nat’l Health Ins. Co. v. Lever, 2024-IA-00112-SCT (Civil – Insurance)
Reversing the trial court’s denial of a motion to transfer venue in a lawsuit against a health insurance company, holding that venue was not proper where the medical treatment was rendered because the medical treatment was not a “substantial event” under the venue statute as it was not an act of the defendant.
(5-4: Randolph dissented, joined by King, Ishee, and Sullivan)
