Description
The question is whether the Lake Superior Court, County Division, properly denied Superior Construction Companys motion for change of venue in a civil suit with potential damages in excess of $10,000. We hold that Ind. Code § 33-5-29.5-16(4) (West Supp. 1990) validly prohibits change of venue as of right from the County Division. The jurisdiction of the County Divison in civil tort cases, however, is limited by Ind. Code § 33-10.5-3-1 (West Supp. 1990) to cases in which the damages claimed do not exceed $10,000. Therefore, the trial court should have either placed a $10,000 cap on the damages requested by the plaintiffs or ordered the case transferred to the Lake Superior Court, Civil Division.
