The Director moved to change venue to Cole County, which the circuit court denied. The Director sought a writ of prohibition from the Missouri Supreme Court. The Supreme Court made its preliminary writ of prohibition permanent, holding that venue was proper in Cole County under the general venue statute, section 508.010.2, because the specific venue statute for declaratory judgments regarding administrative rules, section 536.050.1, did not apply as no promulgated administrative rule was challenged.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","administrative-law","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=144933","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-kenneth-zellers-acting-director-missouri-department-of-reven-c97787","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
