Royal Jones & Associates, Inc. v. Cigna Insurance Co.

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Royal Jones & Associates, Inc. v. Cigna Insurance Co., 575 So. 2d 309 (1991)
1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 1573; 1991 WL 24875
Hall, Scheb, Schoonover

Royal Jones & Associates, Inc. v. Cigna Insurance Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm. A suit for declaratory relief does not itself constitute a cause of action for venue purposes, it is the underlying relief sought which determines venue. Oliver v. Severance, 542 So.2d 408 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989). It was proper to transfer venue to Polk County since that is where the underlying cause of action occurred. § 47.011, Fla.Stat. (1989).

SCHOONOVER, C.J., and SCHEB and HALL, JJ., concur.
