Court States The Case Filing Must Occur Where Defendant Resides - Can This Be Appealed
Yes, in cases where diversity of citizenship occurs (e.g. Defendant and Plaintiff reside in different states) a lawsuit can be filed in the jurisdiction where the Plaintiff resides or where the claim arose, rather than filing where the Defendant resides, as typically required by the courts.
NOTE: For corporations, federal diversity jurisdiction considers the entity as both a citizen of both the state where it is incorporated and the state where its principal place of business is located. This principal place of business is the location where high-level officers direct, control, and coordinate the corporation's activities, often their headquarters. If the entity is located in a different state (e.g. their state of incorporation state or state of principal business) then the filing can be moved to a court where the Plaintiff resides.
