Court of Appeals of Washington March 3, 1998, No. 16320-2-III (Howlett v. Weslo, Inc.)

Brown, J.

Does the district court have the power to order the transfer of a case to the superior court when an amended complaint is filed asking for damages exceeding the district court’s jurisdictional limit? Because the district court’s power in such a case is limited to dismissing the lawsuit, we decide the order transferring the case was void.
