Court Says No to Philadelphia County Venue

City Hall - Philadelphia

In the non-precedential case of Dibble v. Page Transp., Inc., No. 565 EDA 2021 (Pa. Super. Nov. 19, 2021) (en banc) (Op. by Bowes, J.), the court addressed an appeal from a trial court order that sustained the Preliminary Objections of a Defendant claiming that venue was improper in Philadelphia County in transferring the case to Dauphin County. 

Although unpublished, this Opinion provides a nice review of the current status of Pennsylvania law on the venue rules in Pennsylvania as applied against corporations.

I send thanks to Attorney John G. Devlin of Devlin Associates, P.C. in Philadelphia for bringing this case to my attention.
