Description

In this special action proceeding petitioners contend that the trial court abused its discretion or exceeded its jurisdiction in denying their motion for transfer of venue from Maricopa County to Pima County. The principal issue presented is whether a named defendant waives his right to a change of venue by voluntarily filing an answer and contemporaneously moving for transfer of venue, without first having been served with the summons and complaint. Because it is well established that a special action is an appropriate procedure for raising challenges to rulings on venue matters, Ford Motor Co. v. Superior Court, 125 Ariz. 112, 608 P.2d 49 (1979), we have assumed jurisdiction and for the reasons hereinafter stated we have granted relief by written order previously filed in this proceeding on July 25, 1984.
