Fitzgerald v. Westinghouse Credit Corp.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 11, 1986 · Cowart, Dauksch, Orfinger
498 So. 2d 657; 11 Fla. L. Weekly 2594; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 11300 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Fitzgerald v. Westinghouse Credit Corp.

Opinion of the Court

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order denying a transfer of venue from Orange to Bro-ward County. We reverse the order because the cause of action did not accrue in Orange County, the defendants are residents of Broward County, entered into the contracts in Broward County and did business there and not in Orange County. See § 47.011, Fla.Stat. (1985). This cause is remanded to the trial court with directions to order the case transferred to Broward County.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

ORFINGER and COWART, JJ., concur.
