Appellate Court of Illinois November 12, 2010, 1-09-2463 (Bruce v. Atadero)

JUSTICE TOOMIN

delivered the opinion of the court:

In this appeal, we determine whether the circuit court properly declined to transfer venue based on intrastate forum non conveniens where the original action was brought in the forum where the injury occurred and where several key witnesses resided and, following voluntary dismissal, was refiled in a forum other than where plaintiff resided.
