Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama December 30, 2010, 2090352 and 2090368 (Elliott v. International Paper Co.)

PITTMAN, Judge,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent. In this case, under our law, the burden of proving improper venue is on the petitioners, and a petition for a writ of mandamus should not be granted unless there is a clear showing of error on the part of the trial judge. See Ex parte Scott Bridge Co., 834 So.2d 79, 80-81 (Ala.2002).
