Engineering Design Group, LLC, and David Stovall, the principal of Engineering Design Group, LLC (collectively, "EDG"), and Building & Earth Sciences, Inc. ("BES"), filed separate petitions to the Alabama Supreme Court, each seeking a writ of mandamus to direct the St. Clair Circuit Court ("the trial court") to enter an order transferring the action filed in the trial court by plaintiffs Delaney Exchange, LLC, and Springdale Stores Exchange, LLC, to the Shelby Circuit Court. After review, the Supreme Court concluded EDG and BES carried their burden of showing that Shelby County's connection to the action was strong, and St. Clair County's connection to the action was considerably weak. Thus, the trial court exceeded its discretion in refusing to transfer the case to the Shelby Circuit Court, and the interest of justice required the transfer.
