(UCA) sought a writ of mandamus to compel the circuit court to retransfer its lawsuit against Renwick Ware from St. Louis County back to St. Charles County. The circuit court had transferred the case after Ware filed a motion to change venue, which followed his previously sustained application for a change of judge. The Missouri Supreme Court made its preliminary writ of mandamus permanent, holding that Ware's motion to change venue was improper under Rule 51.06(a) because it was not joined with his application for change of judge. Consequently, the circuit court lacked authority to sustain the motion and transfer the case.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"transferred","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=161216","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-universal-credit-acceptance-inc-relator-v-the-ho-c97872","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"}]}
