Question

Delia files a suit against Eduardo in a Florida state court over the ownership of a boat docked in a Florida harbor. Both Delia and Eduardo are residents of Georgia. Eduardo could ask for a change of venue on the ground that Georgia​ _____________________.

a) has a sufficient stake in the matter.
b) has jurisdiction.
c) has sufficient minimum contacts with the parties.
d) is a more convenient location to hold the trial.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: D) is a more convenient location to hold the trial.

Explanation:

A change of venue happens when a case is transferred from a court in one location to a court in a different location. It can be requested if it is convenient for the parties in a lawsuit.

In this case both Eduardo and Delia live in Georgia, so if a trial is held there, they would need to travel and probably hire local lawyers which can be time consuming and expensive.  Eduardo can argue that by holding the case in Georgia benefits both Delia and him.
